 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
 C                       Em                           F                                   C 
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
 Dm                               F 
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
