{intro}      (Handed down or made by hand) 
 

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#       G7M/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 
 
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 
 
But 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 
 

                     C9 
Oh, but you like the taste of danger 
   C9                 D   -   Dsus4      D 
It shines like sugar on your lips 
                  C9                   C9 
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#     G7M/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
