[Intro]
E    C  A  E    C  A  E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                                      C
I could turn around now 'fore it's too late
                     A                E
Guess I really ain't gone 'til she's awake
                                     C
Moon's full and the gas is at half a tank
                 A
Midnight, reckon I've got a choice to make
E                                      C
Wouldn't be the first time that I went running
           A                     E
Runs in my bloodline to run from something
                                 C
Stay here with her or stay in my lane
                 A
Midnight, reckon I've got a choice to make
 
 
[Chorus]
E                            D
Right now, I'm headlights shining
                 A
Eyes wide, white knuckles on the wheel
E                           D
Right now, I'm left-foot flying
                       A
Trying not to take the devil's deal
    E                                 D              A
Now will I make the sunrise sometime 'fore I lose my nerve?
E                               D                 A
Guess the only question left is who's gonna break first?
             E    C  A  E
Me or the dawn?
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                                      A
Bet she's probably reaching out in her sleep
                                          E
While I'm running eighty through some bad dream
                                          C
Part of me is wishing I was back in those sheets
                    A
But this heartbreak habit's still part of me
E                                     C
Little does she know, I'm on borrowed time
           A                     E
I'm losing count of these county lines
                                     C
Clock ticking like miles on the interstate
                 D                    E
Midnight, reckon I've got a choice to make
 
 
[Chorus]
E                            D
Right now, I'm headlights shining
                 A
Eyes wide, white knuckles on the wheel
E                           D
Right now, I'm left-foot flying
                       A
Trying not to take the devil's deal
    E                                 D              A
Now will I make the sunrise sometime 'fore I lose my nerve?
E                               D                 A
Guess the only question left is who's gonna break first?
             E     D  A
Me or the dawn?
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
          E       D  A  E
Me or the dawn?
 
 
[Chorus]
E                            D
Right now, I'm headlights shining
                 A
Eyes wide, white knuckles on the wheel
E
The devil on the dash said the angel in the rearview's
D                            A
Waiting on the corner, so we gotta make a deal
    E                                 D              A
Now will I make the sunrise sometime 'fore I lose my nerve?
E                               D                 A
Guess the only question left is who's gonna break first?
             E     C  A
Me or the dawn?
 
 
[Outro]
          E      C  A
Me or the dawn?
          N.C.
Me or the dawn?
