Let's get to bed early

Sneak out right before the sunrise

We don't need all the goodbyes

We won't be gone for long
        Fmaj7
Oh, baby, don't worry
          Cmaj7
I hid away a little money
          Fmaj7
We don't need much, honey
           Cmaj7
Enough just to get us home

Let's don't wait 'til love comes undone

          C
There's life to be lived
        Am
And stories to tell
      Em
Lessons to learn

We don't know yet

Knowing that we have lived it well
G        Fmaj7
With stories to tell

What about California
       Cmaj7
LA out by the seaside?
           Fmaj7
Watch the sun turn to moonlight
              C9 C  Cmaj7
Then stay up and talk 'til dawn
     Fmaj7
Maybe Carolina
          Cmaj7
Hide out up in the mountains
            Fmaj7
A week or two, no one's counting
           Cmaj7
Come back before too long

The sea and the cities

Come on baby, take my hand
