[Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm] A breathless stride on a [A] downtown street
[B] [Bm] Motorbike ride in the [A] midday heat
The
[D] dust that hung from [A] the desert skies Run though we'd run, [E] it still burned our eyes
[Bm] Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side [A] of life
[Bm] And our movements traced by a stranger close [A] by your side
[D] In the shadows of a promise, [A] you can take my hand
Show me a way [E] to understand
So [Bm] if you think you know [A] how to love me
[Bm] Then you think you know [A] what I need
[Bm] And if you really, really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to lead the way
[Bm] Yes, if you think you know [A] how to love me
[Bm] Then you think you can stand [A] by me
[Bm] And if you really, really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to [A] lead the way
[Bm] Oh,
[D] mmm
[E] [A]
A [Bm]
reckless night in a [A] nameless town
[Bm]
Then we moved out of sight with a [A] silent sound
[D]
A beach that wept with [A] deserted waves
That's where we slept, [E] knowing we'd be safe
Now [Bm] you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side [A] with me
But [Bm] there's a lot I can learn, and a lot that I've yet [A] to see
[D] Know you've got my life [A] lying in your hands
It's up to you to make [E] me understand
[Bm] So if you think you know [A] how to love me
Then you [Bm] think you know what I [A] need
And [Bm] if you really, really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to lead the way
Yes, [B] if you think you know [A] how to love me
Then you [Bm] think you can stand [A] by me
[Bm] And if you really, really [A] want me to stay
