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
[Chorus]
     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?"
[Chorus]
  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
[Chorus]
  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?

Everything they're worth?

     D       Em7    D/F#     E7/G#
They try and get as close to holy

As they can on earth

D       A7     D
As they can on earth
