[Interlude] A Asus A Asus2 A A7 A We're gonna go all the way tonight, We're gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night A Asus A Asus2 A A7 A We're gonna go all the way tonight, We're gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night A Asus A Asus2 A A7 A We're gonna go all the way tonight, We're gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night A Asus A Asus2 A A7 A We're gonna go all the way tonight, We're gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night Em [Spoken] Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth. There's the wind-up and there it is, a line shot up the middle. Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; The ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe - safe at second base, This kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch - And he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt - safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring 'em to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate, Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it [Verse] A A G G F#m A Stop right there! I gotta know right now! A Before we go any further G Do you love me? Will you love me forever? D Do you need me? Will you never leave me C G Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? A Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? G Do you love me? Will you love me forever? D Do you need me? Will you never leave me? C G Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? A Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? G I gotta know right now A G Before we go any further, do you love me? D Will you love me forever? A [Chorus] G D Let me sleep on it, baby baby, let me sleep on it C G D Dsus4 D Well let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning G D Well let me sleep on it, baby baby, let me sleep on it C G D Well let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning G A Well let me sleep on it, baby baby, let me sleep on it C D C G Well let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the mor-ning D I gotta know right now! [Verse] G Do you love me? Will you love me forever? D Do you need me? Will you never leave me? C G Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? A Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? G I gotta know right now A G Before we go any further, do you love me? D Will you love me forever? A [Spoken] (What's it going to be boy? C'mon! I can wait all night) (What's it going to be boy yes or no? What's it going to be boy? Yes, or no!) [Chorus] G D Dsus4 D Let me sleep on it, baby baby let me sleep on it C G D Well let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning! (I gotta know right now!)

C G A Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning, morning, I'll tell you in the morning! (Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life, will you take me away and will you make me your wife?) G I gotta know right now, A G Before we go any further, do you love me? D Will you love me forever? D [Bridge] Eb Well let me sleep on it! (Will you love me forever?) E Let me sleep on it! (Will you love me forever?) [Verse] F I couldn't take it any longer, Lord I was crazed C F And when the feeling came upon me, like a tidal wave C G I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave, F G C That I would love you to the end of time F G C I swore I would love you to the end of time! G [Chorus] C G C So now I'm praying for the end of time, F G C To hurry up and arrive C G Am Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you, G I don't think that I can really survive F I'll never break my promise or forget my vow, C G But God only knows what I can do right now C G C Am Praying for the end of time, it's all that I can do, ooh, ooh C G C F G C F C Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!! [Outro] F C G C F C G C F C It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today; It was long ago G C F C G C F C and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today, It was long ago (it never felt so good, it never felt so right, and we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) (Repeat x6 to fade)
