 A#                   F          Gm           D#
The night is gettin' late, the crowd's headed home
          A#              F            Gm  D#
It's just you and me girl on the lake shore
A#             F            Gm           D#
I know I just met you but I can't let you go
   A#                             F              D#
Forget about your friends, baby, I'll drive you home

I'll set you on the tailgate,
we'll take it nice and slow
I know it ain't your stop, but I won't tell a soul,
no

F                Gm     D#
I know you gotta wake up for that nine to five
     F                   Gm
But what's the point of livin', girl
        D#
If you don't feel alive?

Chorus:
         A#                        F
We can sleep when we're dead, the night is
still young
 Gm                  D#
Pour another drink, turn up that song
       A#                 F
'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights
 D#
Midnight dancin' in the headlights
A#           F            Gm                   D#
Some day we might regret leavin' that love out by
the lake
           A#                         F
If you're gettin' tired honey, we'll put that
           D#
thought to bed
    D#                       A#
But we can sleep when we're dead

Put your pretty arms around me, now get in nice and
close
Whisper in my ear what you'd like to know
Now you can tell me 'bout your family, or tell me
'bout your day
Or our lips can do the talking, let's listen baby,
what do you say?
I know it's kinda crazy for a Tuesday night
But sometimes a good thing don't need time

Chorus:
We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still
young
Pour another drink, talk that song
'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights
Midnight dancin' in the headlights
Some day we might regret leavin' that love out
by the lake
If you're gettin' tired honey, we'll put that
thought to bed

F                Gm           D#
With a smile she pulled me to water
 F
Them southern girls, man,
      Gm                 D#
they just don't get any hotter
         F                  Gm
I said "No girl, got on my good jeans"
     D#
She looked at me boy like "What do you mean?"

Chorus:
We can sleep when we're dead,
the night is still young
Jump on in, let's have a little fun
Small town lovers, hot summer nights
Out here swimmin' in the moonlight
Some day we might regret leavin'
this love out by the lake
But no matter what you do,
don't forget what we said
We can sleep when we're dead
We can sleep when we're dead, aww yeah
We can sleep when we're dead
