Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

Key F
[Intro]
Bb F C F
Bb F Am Bb
[Verse 1]
C F Bb F
Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road
C Dm C Bb
headlights throw a beam on the way back home.
C F Bb F
Lie down, lie down, listen wide awake
C F Bb
To the trains that roll, to the sound time makes.
[Verse 2]
C F Bb F
It passes through the air like a summer storm
C Dm C Bb
Catching on my sleeve like a rose's thorn.
C F Bb F
Sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars
C F Bb
Flies like the wind, waits by the door.
[Refrain]
F Bb F Dm F
And I know you know and that’s all I need
Bb F Am
When the light of day looks like night to me
Bb F Dm F
When you’re far away and I’m all alone
Bb F C F
I can’t explain, I know you know.
[Mid 8]
Bb F C F
Bb F Am Bb
[Verse 3]
C F Bb F
It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes
C Dm C Bb
like an old glass jar filled with fireflies.
C F Bb F
Sometimes I’m still, sometimes I sigh
C F Bb
Sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know why
[Refrain]
F Bb F Dm F
But I know you know and that’s all I need
Bb F Am
When the light of day looks like night to me.
Bb F Dm F
When you’re far away and I’m all alone

I can’t explain, I know you know.

[Verse 4]
C F Bb F
In the morning light, before the heat sets in
C Dm C Bb
Call the dogs to run where the shade has been.
C F Bb F
Across the railroad tracks lay your silver down
C F Bb
Find it smooth and flat, stars for your crown.
[Verse 5]
C F Bb F
In the blue distance where our lives unfurl
C Dm C Bb
The edges of the sky, the beauty of the world.
[Refrain]
F Bb F Dm F
But I know you know and that’s all I need
Bb F Am
When the light of day looks like night to me.
Bb F Dm F
When you’re far away and I’m all alone

I can’t explain, I know you know.
