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)

Em D C D G G G G
G G G G C C D D G G G C-D
G G G C - D G G
Been walking these streets, been deciding what's true
G G C C D D G G
Been hands in my pockets, coat collar up, thinking 'bout you
G C - D G G G C - D G G
I've been talking to myself, giving fate the third degree
G G C C D D G G G G
Been eyes on the pavement admitting my part to strangers passing me
C C D D G G
And I know it isn't fair, but nothing's ever been
G G Em D C C D D D D
Hey when you look at me baby, my god how I feel so good again
G G G C - D G G G G
I don't know where I went wrong, but it isn't right to lie
G G Em D C D G G G G
Hey when you look at me baby, my heart's wide open, naked to the eye

G G G C - D G G
Now some lovers are apart, but they're never far away
G G C C D D G G
I can see her in your eyes, hear her in your voice, and I have to turn away
G C - D G G G C - D G G
Oh, what covet is to ache, is what aching is to me
G G C C D D G G G G
For the arms of a man who knows who I am and where I need to be
C C D D G G
And if I know what I know, then the lonely can't pretend
G G Em D C C D D
When you look at me baby, my god how I feel so whole again
G G C C D D G G
Is there heaven after all, or just this empty space
G G Em D C C D D D D
That no amount of time, no comforting sands, can ever help me face
G G G C - D G G
Which is worse is yet to come, your rebuff or my resign
G G Em D C D G G
Hey when you look at me baby, I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye
G C - D G G G C - D G G
It's like a fever and a spell, unbroken by a sigh
G G Em D C D G G
Oh when you look at me baby I'm going nowhere, just naked to the eye
G G Em D C D G G
Yeah when you look at me baby, everything's there, naked to the eye
G G Em D C D G C G.
Hey when you look at me baby, I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye
