[A]There is no one [A/G#]else around
The [F#m]road is quiet the [D]only sound
Is [A]wind that sounds like [A/G#]cars that sound like [D]breathing
[A]The desert air is [A/G#]hot and dry
[F#m]Two lanes weaving [D]earth and sky
The [A]stars are all that's [A/G#]keeping time [D]till morning
[A]And I turn aand look [A/G#]beside me
[F#m]And you're sleeping like a[D] baby
And you [A]haven't heard a [A/G#]word that I've been [D]saying
[A]And the way you [A/G#]look tonight
[F#m]Fast asleep in the [D]dashboard light
[A]Well I can't [A/G#]speak and t[D]hat's how I feel
[A]Open your [C#m]eyes and [D]look at me [E]look at me
[A]Open your [C#m]eyes [D]and look at [E]me
[F#m]Cause I [D]have and [A]hold this l[E]ove for [F#m]you
Befo[D]re this t[A]en year [E]night is t[F#m]hrough
I'm telling [E]you
Take it from [A]me [A/G#][F#m]
[D]Take it from [A]me[A/G#][D]
[A]We're ten years older I [A/G#]know we are
Than the [F#m]night we met in that [D]downtown bar
[A]You thought I was some [A/G#]kind of star
[D]That's what you said
[A]I felt your skin I [A/G#]felt the heat
As you [F#m]pulled me out in[D]to the street
And you [A]kissed me there [A/G#]till I was weak [D]cause I asked you to
[A]And later on on your [A/G#]kitchen floor
[F#m]Two flight above the [D]grocery store
[A]I felt things I never [A/G#]felt before [D]and I still do
[A]Open your [C#m]eyes and [D]look at me [E]look at me
[A]Open your [C#m]eyes [D]and look at [E]me
[F#m]Cause I [D]have and [A]hold this l[E]ove for [F#m]you
Befo[D]re this t[A]en year [E]night is t[F#m]hrough
I'm telling [E]you
Take it from [A]me [A/G#][F#m]
[D]Take it from [A]me[A/G#][D]
[D]Going eighty [A]on the highway
[F#m]We're rushing [E]somewhere
[D]But the way I f[A]eel tonight
[F#m]It's like I'm [E]already [F#m]there
[A]Open your [C#m]eyes and [D]look at me [E]look at me
[A]Open your [C#m]eyes [D]and look at [E]me
[F#m]Cause I [D]have and [A]hold this l[E]ove for [F#m]you
Befo[D]re this t[A]en year [E]night is t[F#m]hrough
I'm telling [E]you I'm telling you
Take it from [A]me [A/G#][F#m]
[D]Take it from [A]me[A/G#][D]
[D]Take it from [A]me
