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

🎸 Verse 2:
D        G/D    D   Cdim F#7/A#
Here's a letter I remem  ber
Bm      F#7      Bm
Writing just for you
 D       G/D  D    F#7
"Will we ever be together?
Bm     F#7     Bm
One instead of two "


  G            D7
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?
