B
Daniel made a pass
             F#              E
We started flirting after class
          F#                E
Stealing hats and trading jackets
         F#
Locking lips and braces, brackets
       B
After dinner, before dark
                  F#                 E
We'd meet at the same bench in the park
        F#              E
Sweaty palms, averted eyes
        F#                          E
Wasn't sure if he and I were going out

Chorus:
      B
Going out
      F#
Going out, ooh
 E            B
Going, going, out

The sunset threw a tantrum
It wasn't ready to go just yet
Mother Earth said, "Time for bed"
It resisted and the sky went red
The color filtered out
Like pulling teeth out of a cloud
The bloody battle ended
No, the sun can't break the habit of going down

Chorus

Daniel in ten years
Grabbing asses, spilling beers
Another ten and he'll have a daughter
She'll grow up and he can't stop her
Back on the bench, making plans
Watching the day end hand in hand
I always had to be home by eight
My dad would kill me if I was late
I'll be going now

Chorus:
      B
Going now
      F#
Going now, ooh
E             B
Going, going, now
           E
Going, gone
      B
Going, gone
           F#
Going, gone, ooh
E             B
Going, going, gone
