          Fadd9     C             G       Em7
  It's about fifteen hundred miles to California 
Fadd9                C          G         
  They'll get there Friday if they leave tonight 
Fadd9         C             G           Am7
  She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning 
            Fadd9       C           G        C    
  Leaves a note so she won't see her daddy cry

  Fadd9    C    G   x2

  Fadd9        C              G             Em7
  He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway
   Fadd9             C             G          
  She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road
        Fadd9            C       G           Am7
  No friends and no family, no job out there waiting
             Fadd9               C          G        C
  The whole town will call them crazy but they gotta go


        Fadd9  C       G           Am7
  'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah 
       Fadd9          C                G           
  You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
         Fadd9  C    G          Am7              Fadd9      C
  'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your
   G             C     
  Head to your heart


  Fadd9   C    G   x2


          Fadd9         C         G       Em7
  They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment
  Fadd9          C          G     
  She's waiting tables and he's a valet
           Fadd9         C             G           Am7
  They're behind on the bills and the car's barely running 
     Fadd9       C             G              C
  But he buys a ring with the tips that he's saved


        Fadd9  C       G           Am7
  'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah 
       Fadd9          C                G           
  You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
         Fadd9  C    G          Am7              Fadd9      C
  'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your
   G             C     
  Head to your heart  
 
   Fadd9    C    G

   
   Am                       G                            Fadd9   G   Fadd9
  Last thing they need is another mouth to feed, but they won't call
   Am                       G                     Fadd9  G   Fadd9
  Just kids themselves but that's all to change in nine more months

 
Fadd9           C            G            Am7
  She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning
Fadd9       C             G          
  Ready or not their new life's gonna start
Fadd9     C       G     Em7
  Seven pounds and eighteen inches
             Fadd9          C           G            C    
  The doctor lays that new baby's head right on her heart

  Fadd9    C    G


        Fadd9  C       G           Am7
  'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah 
       Fadd9          C                G           (Gsus4)
  You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
      Fadd9  C           G         Am7
  But thank God for those eighteen inches 
     Fadd9         C             G            C
  The distance it is from your head to your heart

  Fadd9    C    G    x4

  End on Fadd9
