Why do lovers own each o  ther
B minorBm   F#7F#7   B minorBm
Like a piece of land?
  D MajorD     G/DG/D  D MajorD   F#7F#7
If you could never hold another
B minorBm     F#7F#7 B minorBm
Then you'd understand


   G+G       D7D7
They wonder what to do
  G+G       D7D7
So far away from you
  G+G       D7D7    G+G
And try to fit the best they can
  A augmentedA          E7E7
And when they're feeling down
   A augmentedA       E7E7
They see if you're around
  A augmentedA        E7E7   A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 A7A7
To talk to them and lend a hand

Writing just for you
 D MajorD    G/DG/D D MajorD  F#7F#7
"Will we ever be together?
B minorBm   F#7F#7   B minorBm
One instead of two "


 G+G      D7D7
I wonder if we will
  G+G          D7D7
The thought is nice, but still
 G+G        D7D7   G+G  E7E7
I haven't had the time to plan
  A augmentedA       E7E7
We met and it was nice
  A augmentedA         E7E7
And thanks for the advice
     A augmentedA    E7E7 A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 A7A7
But I'm a red-blooded man

🎸 Verse 3:
D MajorD    G/DG/D  D MajorD   E7E7
I could never do whatever
D MajorD    F#7F#7  B minorBm
Impulse led me to
D MajorD     G/DG/D   D MajorD  F#7F#7
I'll take measure over pleasure
B minorBm   F#7F#7   B minorBm
Old instead of new

 G+G       D7D7
I love your loyalty
   G+G        D7D7
The "us" and not the "me"
  G+G      D7D7   G+G  E7E7
But barriers are far too bland
  A augmentedA      E7E7
I'm living every day
  A augmentedA        E7E7
So why should I not play
     A augmentedA       E7E7   A augmentedA A major 6A6 A7A7
When I'm loving you the best I can?
