As recorded by Mary Chapin-Carpenter (From the 2020 Album THE DIRT AND THE STARS) [Intro] Dm7 G C F Dm7 G C F Dm7 G C F Dm7 G C F [Verse 1]
Dm
Try to conjure up a night

G
Of jessamine upon the air

C
I'm seventeen and in a car

F
Ready to ride anywhere

Dm7
This summer night sticks to my skin

    G
And beer's gone to my head

C
My arm hangs out the window

      F                        Dm
And I can't hear what you just said
[Chorus]
         G     C
Over the radio

        F         Dm7
Wild, wild horses

                  G         C
Everything you'll ever know

          F
Is in the choruses
[Verse 2]
Dm7
Everything that made you whole

G
Everything that broke your heart

C
Whatever called you by your soul

    F
And piece by piece took you apart

Dm7
Every spark you ever chased

G
All the faith love robbed you of

C
Every light the dark erased

F                     Dm7
Every cause that gave you up
[Chorus]
     G            C
Turn on the radio

        F         Dm7
Wild, wild horses

             G         C
Everwhere we'd ever go

          F
Is in the choruses
[Bridge]
                Bb
Standing on the porch tonight

F
All I hear is a distant car

C
Watching the fading light

G
Between the dirt and the stars

Bb
Between the rough and smooth

        F
And the easy and the hard

Am
The lonely sound of loneliness

       G                   Dm
That's shaped just like my heart
[Interlude] G C F Dm7 G C F [Verse 3]
Dm
Years will pass before we turn

G
To face the place where we come from

C                         F
Years will pass before we learn

F
What time denies to everyone

Dm
If we're lucky ghosts and prayers

G
Are company, not enemies

C
I time travel straight back there

F                        Dm
You were singing back to me
[Chorus]
           G         C
Along with the radio

        F         Dm
Wild, wild horses

                 G         C
Everything we'll ever know

          F       Dm
Is in the choruses

         G     C
Over the radio

        F         Dm
Wild, wild horses

                 G       C
Everywhere we'll ever go

          F        C
Is in the choruses
