Intro: G C G C G 

G 
Are we fools for rushin' in, 
        Em          C     G 
Cause I already dread the end 
G 
Lonely ain't no place to start 
  Em               C        G 
I guess that's just where we are 
        G 
Oh how I remember well 
      Em      C         G 
The sunset on September 12 
   G 
I disappeared to get a drink 
     Em      C         G 
You still kept your eyes on me 

Em        C         G       D 
Sometimes love acts out of spite 
   Em          C       G    D 
And good things happen over night 
      G                 C     (Em)     C       G 
Can't take it slow cause you and I are pushin time 

G 
I didn't plan on fallin' fast 
   Em                    C          G 
I didn't know I could be kissed like that 
G 
Now I'm trading miles for minutes 
    Em             C              G 
This bed's too big without you in it 

Em        C         G       D 
Sometimes love acts out of spite 
   Em          C       G    D 
And good things happen over night 
      G                 C     (Em)     C       G    Em  C 
Can't take it slow cause you and I are pushin time 

G Em C (x2) 

Em      C             G 
You and I are pushin time 

         G 
And they say only time can tell 
  Em         C     G 
You already know me well 
      G 
If it has to end in tears 
 Em            C         G 
I hope it's in sixty years 

Em        C         G       D 
Sometimes love acts out of spite 
   Em          C       G    D 
And good things happen over night 
      G                 C     (Em)     C       G    Em  C 
Can't take it slow cause you and I are pushin time 
      G                 C     (Em)     C       G    Em  C 
Can't take it slow cause you and I are pushin' time
