[Intro]
E Esus E Esus2 E Esus2 E A B (x2)
[Verse 1]
E B
Right about now her heart should be pounding
E Asus2
her hands are trembling, her head getting light
E B
she's turning the sound down, afraid it'll drown out
Asus2
an engine in the night
[Verse 2]
E B
I'm still enthralled by the last time I saw her
E Asus2
the traffic was crawling, the highway was white
E B
I cancelled my plans and abandoned the van
Asus2
and was stranded in town for the night - all night
[Interlude]
C#m B A (x2)
[Verse 3]
E B
We toasted southern winters in the snow
E Asus2
and we, pounded warm Drambouie in the cold
E B
and we, held our own 'til it was almost dawn
Asus2
and came to in each others clothes
[Bridge 1]
E B
I was leaving, she was breathing
E A
on the window as I fishtailed away
E B
through the tears and the rear view mirror
A
I could see her disappear in the fogged over pane
[CHORUS]
C#m B A
Please... Angeline de-liver me
C#m B
I'm bearing down on the outskirts of town
A
with the reins in my teeth
F#m B C#m
the clean... smell of the wild onions sweetens the heat
B A B
I'm drunk on the wind in my mouth
A
and wringing the wheel for a little more speed
[Verse 4]
E B
The wind is rising along the horizon
E A
the blue sheets of lightening are gaining on me
E B
I'll be home as the first of the overgrown
A
raindrops impact the street
[Bridge 2]
E B
In the highbeams, blooms and pine needles
E A
fall in squalls like a blizzard of dreams
E B
she's watching the highway for headlights
A
and wringing her highball, for a little more speed
[Final_CHORUS]
C#m B A
Please... Angeline de-liver me
C#m B
I'm bearing down on the outskirts of town
A
with the reins in my teeth
F#m B C#m
the clean... smell of the wild onions sweetens the heat
B A B
I'm drunk on the wind in my mouth
A
and wringing the wheel for a little more speed
A B
I'm drunk on the wind in my mouth
A
and wringing the wheel
[Outro]
