{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
