G                       D        C 
Sometimes lovers get to close to understand 
                                  D 
It takes space to be a woman or a man 
        G           D               C 
So they both bend until they nearly break 
                                       D 
And they think that love is just a big mistake 
 
G                    D               C 
Hold on to yours and I'll hold on to mine 
                                       D 
We don't have to give up either cup of wine 
    G              D               C 
The bottle here is full enough for two 
                                        D 
It will last as long as theres a me and you 


I'm an old fashioned person don't you know 
I am sure that love is pure as drivin snow 
So just be yourself and I'll keep being me 
If we're lucky we'll be blind enough to see 


Chorus 

Put your hands anywhere they want to be 
You can let your fingers walk all over me 
If we must to trust we'll drop our cards tonight 
If we're wrong we still got time to make it right 

Chorus
