Leather & Lace

Words & Music:

Stevie Nicks

 

D          G               D

Is love so fragile and the heart so hollow?

G            D       Asus4       A

Shatter with words impossible to follow.

You're sayin' I'm fragile, I try not to be.

I search only for something I can't see.

 

I have my own life and I am stronger than you know.

But I carry this feeling, when you walked into my house,

That you won't be walking out the door.

Still I carry this feeling, when you walked into my house,

That you won't be walking out the door.

 

CHORUS:

G         A     G       A

Lovers forever, face to face.

My city, your mountains, stay with me stay.

I need you to love me, I need you today.

Give to me your leather, take from me my lace.

 

You in the moonlight, with your sleepy eyes,

Could you ever love a man like me?

And you were right, when I walked into your house,

I knew I'd never want to leave.

 

Sometime, I'm a strong man, sometimes cold and scared.

And sometimes I cry.

But that time I saw you, I knew with you to light my nights.

Somehow, I'd get by.

 

CHORUS:
