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


     G              D7 
They wonder what to do 
   G             D7 
So far away from you 
    G              D7        G 
And try to fit the best they can 
    A                    E7 
And when they're feeling down 
     A             E7 
They see if you're around 
   A                E7     A Amaj7 A7 
To talk to them and lend a hand

D        G/D    D   Cdim F#7/A# 
Here's a letter I remem  ber 
Bm      F#7      Bm 
Writing just for you

"Will we ever be together? 
Bm     F#7     Bm 
One instead of two "

I wonder if we will 
    G                    D7 
The thought is nice, but still 
  G               D7      G    E7 
I haven't had the time to plan 
   A              E7 
We met and it was nice 
    A                 E7 
And thanks for the advice 
          A       E7  A Amaj7 A7 
But I'm a red-blooded man 

🎸 Verse 3:
D       G/D   D     E7 
I could never do whatever 
D       F#7    Bm 
Impulse led me to 
D         G/D     D    F#7 
I'll take measure over pleasure 
Bm     F#7      Bm 
Old instead of new 

 
  G              D7 
I love your loyalty 
     G                D7 
The "us" and not the "me" 
    G            D7      G    E7 
But barriers are far too bland 
    A            E7 
I'm living every day 
   A                E7 
So why should I not play 
         A              E7     A A6 A7 
When I'm loving you the best I can?
