[E]When we talk about love it’s the burning kind
It’s the fresh cut roses, it’s the [B]bitter wine
[E]Reckless hearts, smoking guns
It’s shining like the [B]summer sun

[A]One or the other ex[B]treme
[E]But I’m learning that love is somewhere in the middle
[B]Somewhere in the middle be[E]tween


[E]Me and my baby, we get along fine
Most we ever do is [B]bicker and whine
[E]Yeh, we’re good together
She’s [E]my best friend
Slow and steady [B]’til the end

[A]One or the other ex[B]treme

In my [E]younger years it was do or die
Full of heartbreak [B]and desire
[E]I’ve known joy for every tear I’ve cried
For every passion [B]I was once denied

[A]One or the other ex[B]treme
