If you think you know how to love me 


Bm                                 A
  A breathless drive on a downtown street
Bm                               A
  A motorbike ride in the midday heat
D                                    A
 The dust that hung, from the desert skies
                              E
Run though we’d run, it still burned our eyes

   Bm                                       A
Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life
        Bm                                            A
And our movements traced by a stranger, close by your side
D                                         A
 And in the shadows of a promise, you can take my hand
                       E
And show me the way to understand

Refrein
          Bm                    A                Bm                    A
So if you think you know how to love me, and you think you know what I need
           Bm          A                E
And if you realy realy want me to stay, you’ve got to lead the way
           Bm                    A                Bm                     A
Yes if you think you know how to love me, and you think you can stand by me
           Bm          A                E                      A
And if you realy realy want me to stay, you’ve got to lead the way

      Bm    D  E     A
Oooooooohhh,   Hhmmhmhm

Bm                               A
  A reckless night in a nameless town
        Bm                               A
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound
D                                A
 A beach that wept with deserted waves
                               E
That’s where we slept, knowing we’d be safe

            Bm                                            A
Now you may think you can walk on the wild wild side with me
              Bm                                         A
But there’s a lot I can learn and a lot that I’ve yet to see
D                                          A
 You know you’ve got my life lying in your hands
                          E
It’s up to you to make me understand
