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)

[Intro] C G C G C G D x2
[Verse]
Em D G
Deep in your blood or a voice in your head
C G D
On a dark lonesome highway that finds you instead
Em D G
So certain it knows you, you can't turn away
C G D
Something or someone has found you today
[Chorus]
C G C G
Genius to Jesus, maybe He saved us
C G D
But who would believe us, I can't really say
C G C G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling or falling
C G D C
You follow it knowing there's no other way, there's no other way
[Verse]
Em D G
They're Zealots and preachers and readers of dreams
C G D
The righteous gel out of stand, the safe drives to sin
Em D G
The lonely and lost are just waiting to hear
C G D
Any moment their purpose will be perfectly clear
[Chorus]
C G C G
And then life would mean more, than their name on their door
C G D
And that far distant shore that's so near
C G C G
They'd hear the calling, the stumbling and falling
C G D C
They'd follow it knowing there's nothing to fear, nothing to fear
[Verse]
Em D G
I don't remember a voice on a dark lonesome road
C G D
When I started the journey so long ago
Em D G
I was only just trying to outrun the noise
C G D
There was never a question of having a choice
[Chorus]
C G C G
Jesus to genius maybe they've seen me
C G D
But who would believe me, I can't really say
G C C G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling
C G D
I followed it knowing there's no other way
C G C G
Jesus to genius, maybe He seen me
C G D
But who would believe me, I can't really say
C G C G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling
C G D C
I got through it knowing there's no other way, there's no other way
