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