** Capo on the 2nd fret! **


INTRO:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------0----------------0-----------------0----------------0----------|
|------2-------2--------2-------2---------2-------2--------2-------2----|
|----2-----2-----2----2-----2-----2-----0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0--|
|--0---------0------0---------0-------0---------0------0---------0------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|


RIFF (w/INTRO):
|--5----5--7--9--7--9-------------| It sounds like this riff is played on a
|----------------------7----------| mandolin rather than a regular acoustic
|---------------------------------| guitar. The riff is played 4 times over
|---------------------------------| the intro figure: the first two times by
|---------------------------------| itself, and on the 3rd and 4th times it
|---------------------------------| is doubled by another mandolin which
rapidly picks each note (tremolo picking).


VERSE (w/INTRO figure):

Well our hearts beat like thunder
I don?t know why they don?t explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke?s singin? on the radio


PRE-CHORUS:

F#m D
You say that I?m the boy
E
Who can make it all come true
F#m D
Well I?m tellin? ya that I don?t know
E
If I know what to do


CHORUS:

A F#m
You say that?s all right, hold tight
D E
Well I don?t even know if I?m doin? this right
A F#m
Well alright, hold tight
D E
We could stay out all day, we could run around all night
A F#m
Well all night, all night
D
Well it?s time to go home
E (play INTRO w/RIFF)
And I ain?t even done with the night


VERSE (w/INTRO):
Well I don?t know no good come-ons
And I don?t know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it?s burnin? you up deep down inside


PRE-CHORUS:
You say that I?m the boy
Who can make it all come true
Well I?m tellin? ya that I don?t know
If I know what to do


CHORUS:
You say that?s all right, hold tight
Well I don?t even know if I?m doin? this right
Well alright, hold tight
We could stay out all day, we could run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well it?s time to go home
And I ain?t even done with the night


BRIDGE: F#m E D F#m D E


CHORUS:
Ain?t even done with the night, hold tight
Well I don?t even know if I?m doin? this right
Well alright, hold tight
We could stay out all day, or we could run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well it?s time to go home
And I ain?t even done with the night

(repeat INTRO w/RIFF until fade)

No I ain?t even done with the night
No no, ain?t even done with the night
No I ain?t even done with the night
No no, ain?t even, ain?t even done with the night
No no, I ain?t even done with the night
No I ain?t even done with the night....
