1. [Bm] A breathless drive on a [A] downtown street
[Bm] Motorbike ride in the [A] mid-day heat
[D] The dust that hung from the [A] desert skies
Run, though we run it still [E] burned our eyes.

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

Chorus:
So if you [Bm] think you know how to [A] love me
And you [Bm] think you know what I [A] need
And if you [Bm] really really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to lead the way

Yes, if you [Bm] think you know how to [A] love me
And you [Bm] think you can stand by [A] me
And if you [Bm] really really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to lead the [A] way, oh oh [Bm] oh [D] uhm [E] uhm [A] uhm

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

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