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)

G C G C
You're like a cool breeze to a hot spell
G C G C
You're like a long drink to a dry well
C C C C
Oh I know by now, there's no use thinking
G C G C
That it's something in that water I've been drinking
D D D7 D7
Cause I would not need even one more drop
G C G C
If you'd just let me into your heart
You're like a blue sky to a gray day
You're like a new try to an old way
Oh, I never needed much convincing
'Bout that something in my life that's been missing
But I think I know where to find that part
If you'd just let me into your heart
C C G G
I've got a past baby, now who doesn't
C C G G
I won't ask you to think that I wasn't
Em Em Em Em
Who I was back then, yes it's true
A A D7 D7
But that was when I didn't know you
You're like a sweet sight to these tired eyes
You're like the first light after a long night
Oh I never believed in the hands of fate
But to be with you, baby, I believe I'd wait
Till the end of time for a chance to start
If you'd just let me into your heart
