Lyrics and Chords
Each time you'd pull down the driveway
I wasn't sure when I would see you again
Yours was a twisted, blind-sided highway
No matter which road you took then
/ Dmaj9 - G - / D Dsus4 D - / Em7 - G A7sus4 / D Gm D - /
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded
/ Dmaj9 - G - / D Dsus4 D - / Em7 - D/F# - / G - A7sus4 - A7 - /
{Refrain}
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
/ G - A - / D - Gmaj7 - / G - A - / D - D7 - / G - A - / G A D Dsus4D /
So what is love then, is it dictated
Or chosen - Handed down or made by hand
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
Or is it just pop emotion - Handed down or made by hand
And if it ever was there, and it left
Does it mean it was never true
And to exist it must elude
Is that why I think these things of you
{Refrain}
Oh, but you like the taste of danger
It shines like sugar on your lips
And you like to stand in the line of fire
Just to show you can shoot straight from your hip
There must be a thousand things you would die for
I can hardly think of two
But not everything is better spoken aloud
Not when I'm talking to you
/ C9 - / - - D Dsus4 D - / C9 - - - / Em7 - D7 - /
/ G - Gm - D - Gmaj7 - / Em7 - D/F# - / G - A7sus4 - A7 - /
Oh, the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief
She's a very good listener
And maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle
Of impossibility
Standing at opposite poles
Equal partners in a mystery - Handed down or made by hand
We're standing at opposite poles
Equal partners in a mystery
/ Dmaj9 - G - / D Dsus4 D - / Em7 - / G A D Dsus4 D - /
/ Em7 - / G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Gm D - /
