[Intro]
Am C D G x2
[Verse 1]
Am C
I got a letter from Maria,
G D
you know her English ain’t that good
Am C G
But what she meant was easily understood
Am C G D
If I’m gonna keep her, I better get there quick
Am C G
The thought of her with somebody else just makes me sick
[Chorus]
C G
I never drove two days through the pouring rain
D Am
Just stopping for coffee and gas
C G
Never outrun the law on the interstate
D Am
Didn’t know this thing would go that fast
C G
I never been in this deep before
D Em
But there’s always a first time
C D Am C G D
Then again, I ain’t never been the jealous kind
[Interlude]
Am C G D
[Verse 2]
Am C G D
Blue lights in the mirror, blue lights in my way
Am C G
But still all I see is her pretty face
Am C G D
When they give me that one phone call, I know what it’s gonna be
Am C G
Maria, would you wait one more day for me?
[Chorus]
C G
I never drove two days through the pouring rain
D Am
Just stopping for coffee and gas
C G
I never outrun the law on the interstate
D Am
Didn’t know this thing would go that fast
C G
I never been in this deep before
D Em
But there’s always a first time
C D Am C G D
Then again, I ain’t never been the jealous kind
