Introduction:
C Em F C
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection
C Em F C
Slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction
C Em F C
Broken and smokin' where the infrared deer plunge in the digital snake
C Em F C
I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands when they make your hands shake
Dm F
I know you like to line dance
Dm F
Everything so democratic and cool
Dm F C
But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules
C Em F C
I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men's room walls
C Em F C
Maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers and walked down all the wrong halls
C Em F C
But nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed
Dm F
"Yeah, you look like someone
Dm F
Yeah, you look like someone who up and left me low
Dm F C
Boy, you look like someone I used to know"
Dm F
I know you'd like to line dance
Dm F
With everything so democratic and cool
Dm F C
But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules

I asked the painter why the roads are colored black
C Em
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave
F C
And no highway will bring them back"
C Em F C
So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger
C Em F C
But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear, about that tan line on your ring finger
Outro

No one should have two lives
Dm F
Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right
Dm F C
Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight
C
To give tonight
C
To give tonight
C
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
