{intro}      (Handed down or made by hand) 
 

D5                         G5 
Each time you'd pull down the driveway 
              D5     -      D5     D5 
I wasn't sure when I would see you again 
            E5                      G5  -  A5 
Yours was a twisted, blind-sided highway 
                D5      -      G5     D5 
No matter which road you took then 
 

       D5                      G5 
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts 
                     D5     -      D5     D5 
Moved in and made my thinking crowded 
                      E5                      D5 
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs 
                 G5                        A5      A5 
My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded 
 

           G5                       A5 
I could go crazy on a night like tonight 
                   D5   -    D5       G5 
When summer's beginning to give up her fight 
               G5                 A5 
And every thought's a possibility 
               D5     -    D5       D5 
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen 
           G5                      A5 
Why do you spend this time with me 
          G5  -  A5      D5 - D5   D5 
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 
 

                     C5 
Oh, but you like the taste of danger 
   C5                 D5   -   D5      D5 
It shines like sugar on your lips 
                  C5                   C5 
And you like to stand in the line of fire 
              E5                             D5 
Just to show you can shoot straight from your hip 
                G5                         G5 
There must be a thousand things you would die for 
      D5  -   D5     G5 
I can hardly think of two 
                   E5                D5 
But not everything is better spoken aloud 
              G5             A5    A5 
Not when I'm talking to you 
 
 
        D5                               G5 
Oh, the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight 
                      D5   -    D5     D5 
Breaks a bottle to christen her 
               E5                  G5  -  A5 
Basking in the exploits of her thief 
               D5    -     G5     D5 
She's a very good listener 
 

                 D5                  G5 
And maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle 
          D5  -  D5    D5 
Of impossibility 
             E5           
Standing at opposite poles 
      G5      -      A5        D5  -  D5     D5 
Equal partners in a mystery 
                   E5           
We're standing at opposite poles 
      G5      -      A5       D5  -  D5    D5  -  D5    D5  -  G5    D5 
Equal partners in a mystery
