   C                            A#
I had to escape , the city was sticky and cruel
C
Maybe I should have called you first,
           A#              Dm
but I was dying to get to you

        F
I was dreaming while I drove
     A#                  C
the long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah
       A#
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide,
      C                                      A# F
this fever for you was just burning me up inside

Chorus:
             Am   A#          F   Dm
I drove all night, to get to you
             C
Is that all right?
             Am   A#              F
I drove all night, crept in your room
Dm             C                          A#
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
             F
I drove all night

What in this world
Keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and yoooooou
Ohh

Chorus:
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

       A#
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide,
      C                                      A# F
this fever for you was just burning me up inside

            Am   A#          F   Dm
I drove all night, to get to you
             C
Is that all right?
            Am   A#              F    Dm
I drove all night, crept in your room
             C
Is that all right?
             F   C A# F
I drove all night
             Am   A#          F   Dm
I drove all night, to get to you
             C
Is that all right?
             F
I drove all night
