[G]
[D] Hand in mouth and name by hand
[G]
[D]
[A] Each time you pulled [G] down the driveway
I [D] wasn't sure when I would see you again
Yours [E] was a twisted blind [G]-sighted highway
[D] No matter which road you took [D] then
[A] Oh, you set up your place in my thoughts
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
[D] Now we're out [E] in the back with the barking dogs
My heart, [G] the red sun, your heart, [D] the moon
[A] clouded
I could [G] go crazy on a night [A] like tonight
[D] Summer's beginning to give up [Bm] her fight
And every [G] thought's a [A] possibility
Through the voices [D] I heard but nothing is seen
Why do [G] you spend this time [A] with me?
Maybe [G] an equal [D] mystery
[A] So what is love then?
Is [G] it dictated or [D] chosen?
Hand in mouth and name by hand
Does it sing [E] like the hymns of a thousand [G] years?
Or is it just pop in motion?
Hand in mouth and name by hand
And [A] if it ever was there [G] and it left
Doesn't mean it [D] was never true
And to [E] exist it must elude
[D] It's just why I [G] think these things [D] of you
[A] I could [G] go crazy on a night like [A] tonight
Summer's beginning to give up [G] her fight
And every thought's a [A] possibility
Through the voices [D] I heard but nothing is seen
Why do [G] you spend this time with [A] me?
Maybe [G] an equal [A]
[D] mystery
But you, like [C] the taste of danger, shines like sugar
[D] On your lips, you like [C] to stand and light a fire
Just to [D] show you can't shoot straight from your hip
There must be [G] a thousand things you [Bb] would die for
I [D] can hardly think of [B] two
But not everything is better spoken [D] aloud
Not when I'm [G] talking to [D] you
[A] Oh, the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in [Em] the exploits of her thief
[G] [B] She's a very [D] good listener
Maybe if I [A] told her we'd meet
She'd [G] be in the middle of [D] impossibilities
We're standing [E] at opposite poles
Equal [G] partners [A] in a mystery
[D]
We're standing [E] at opposite poles
Equal [G] partners [A] in a mystery
