Intro: G C Am D G Sitting up on the roof Em Sneaking a smoke by the chimney C Am Checking out the moon and the city lights G He takes off his flannel shirt and he Em drapes it around her shoulder C Am slides up behind her and holds on tight G Em and she says I don't want this night to end C Am why does it have to end? Chorus: G Em C Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-ten baton rouge LSU Am Eighteen years in her rearview G Em C He's got a friday paycheck line up down the block at daddy's shop Am it ain't much but its a job Em C Am they've been dreading this moment all summer long C D G the night before life goes on D ooo G a tear falls off her cheek and Em Right when it hits his arm he says C Am Come on baby let's get out of here G They take one last drive around town and Em man it already looks different C Am He bangs the wheel and says life ain't fair G Em and this growing up stuff man i don't know C Am i just don't wanna let you go (CHORUS) C Am Yeah that's what my momma told me C Am G and just like those kids i didn't want to listen to no one C Am Yeah there's nothing you can do, nothing you can say and C Am (one strum) i know how it feels when love goes away G Em C Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-ten baton rouge LSU Am Eighteen years in her rearview G Em C He's got a friday paycheck line up down the block at daddy's shop Am it ain't much but its a job Em Am C Am they've been dreading this moment all summer loooong Em G But here it is they don't have long Em C G the night before life goes ooooon D C C C C Am G yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
