Now, Riff 1 is played throughout the song, so you can either skip the strumming of the or skip the 'pick' or play them both. Am G Breathless drive on a downtown street Am G Motorbike ride in the midday heat C G Dust that hung from the desert skies D run, though we run, it still burned our eyes Am G Oh yes we may walk on the wild ,wild side of life Am G And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side C G In the shadows of a promise you can take my hand D And show me a way to understand Am G Chorus: So if you think you know how to love me Am G And you think you know what I need Am G And if you really, really want me to stay D You've got to lead the way Am G Yes if you think you know how to love me Am G And you think you can stand by me Am G And if you really, really want me to stay D G You've got to lead the way Am G Reckless night in a nameless town Am G Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound C G A beach that wept with desert waves D That's where we slept, knowing we'd be safe Am G Now you may think you can walk on the wild wild side with me Am G But There's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see C G Know ,you've got my life, lying in your hands D So it's up to you to make me understand (repeat chorus)
