[Verse 1]
           G          
Well, the night keeps 
          D
gettin' shorter
        F                
And the day keeps getting
 G
 near.
          G            
And your daddy wants to 
              D
give up his daughter
         F              
But you think, you think
              D
 you don't want him

[Pre-Chorus]
             A               
You got me standing underneath
        D
 your window
                A        
While you're deliberating 
          D
on your fate
               A            
And you would really like to 
        D
let me in though
           A                
But your fiance doesn't know
       D
 your date

Well, we could leave tonight
            D
 for Puerto Rico
             F           
Or we could catch a train
       G
 to F-L-A
                  G          
'Cause with your wedding day
            D
 around the corner
           F              
I get to thinking that you

              A            
You know that once the ring
            D
 is on your finger
              A           
It's so much harder for a
        D
 girl today
              A          
She won't be cozy with a
               D
 rock 'n' roll singer
               A         
And throw her family and 
              D
her husband away

[Chorus]
               G           
Well, if you thinkin' life

Baby, doncha, doncha, 
        D   F
