        G                      C
You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest
        G                                  C
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
          G                        C
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
    G              C
For any spirit to haunt

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on the beach
Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Chorus:
  G             Bm             C
   Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
  G              Bm                C
   Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
  G             Bm             C
   Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
  G             Bm                   C
   Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cos I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cos I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me 'cos I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends

Chorus

Am       Em
Oh, the deeper I spin
G                                D
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Am
Took a drive in the dirty rain
Em
To a place where the wind calls your name
G                                       D
Under the trees, the river laughing at you and me
     Am
Hallelujah, heaven's white rose,
     F                D
the doors you open I just can't close

          G     Bm
   Don't turn around
          C
   Don't turn around again
          G         Bm            C
   Don't turn around, your gypsy heart

   Don't turn around
   Don't turn around again
   Don't turn around, and don't look back

   Come on now love
   Don't you look back!

Chorus

   Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
   Who's could tame the heart of thee?
