(No Capo)

Intro.:  |(Em/D) / / (D) / / / / | x 4

She locked her (Em/D)fingers (D) and bowed her (Em/D)head (D)
She said, "I'm (E7/G#)late and I'm really scared" (G)
Now you can go (Em/D) (D) but I hope you stay (Em/D) (D)
I'm gonna keep (E7/G#) it either way (G)

(Chorus)
In my (G)daddy's El (D)Camino in her (G)driveway in the (D) rain
(G)Starin' through (D)that windshield, I could (A)see my future change (G)
And my heart hit like a (D)hammer, and my (G)thoughts were runnin' wild (Bm)
Any (A)fool can make a baby, but it takes a man (G) to raise a child

Solo:  |(Em/D) / / (D) / / / / | x 2

I laid my head (Em/D) (D) down on the wheel (Em/D) (D)
She said, "I know, (E7) I know it don't seem real" (G)
She closed her eyes (Em/D) (D) but the tears flowed (Em/D) through (D)
She said, "Don't hate (E7) me for lovin' (G) you"

(Chorus)
In my (G)daddy's El (D)Camino in her (G)driveway in (D)the rain
(G)Starin' through (D)that windshield, I could (A)see my future change (G)
And my heart hit like a (D)hammer, and my (G)thoughts were runnin' wild (Bm)
Any (A)fool can make a baby, but it takes a man (G) to raise a child (D)

(Bridge)
Oh, I (Em)could not reassure her, I couldn't (F#m)say what I had planed
Couldn't (G)put three words together, so (A)I just took her hand ---

Solo:  |(Em/D) / / (D) / / / / | x 2

(Chorus)
In my (G)daddy's El (D)Camino in her (G)driveway in the (D) rain
(G)Starin' through (D)that windshield, I could (A)see my future change (G)
And my heart hit like a (D)hammer, and my (G)thoughts were runnin' wild (Bm)
Any (A)fool can make a baby, but it takes a man (G) to raise a child
