Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]We [D]pas[G]sed 800 miles talking
[C]circles about living [G]with loss
[C]You said your sense of humor's always
helped you get above [G]& across
Every hurdle, every chasm,
every [C]shocking & unspeakable [G]blow
Just proves the uni[C]verse is chaos so you
laugh to clear the lump from your throat
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]But if [G]you[Em]'re fixed on being bitter[A]
[C#dim]Go be bitter[G] on your own[A]
We're still two [Am]hours from El Paso
Arizona's such a long way to go
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em][D]
The [G]chemicals were coursing through
[C]our bloodstreams at incongruous [G]rates
I was time- [C]traveling inward through
a past life I can never [G]erase
You were hanging out the window,
you said: 'We're [C]just a beggar's banquet [G]in space'
You were laugh[C]ing at the moon,
you were cursing it for wearing your face
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Me & N[Em]ew Mexico are orp[C#dim]hans
Or is it [G]bastards? Either [A]way:
I know [C]a guy in Roswell
We'll hitch [Am]a moonride, steal you back your face
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][C]
[G][C]
[G][C]
[G][C][D][C][Em]
[Am][G]
[D]You sleep and

[Verse 5]
[Em]whistle 'Black[C#dim]bird' backwards
while my eyes [G]cut her name in [A]clay.
You wake to [C]Mesa, Arizona
Say, 'Let it go. [Am]She'll change
[C]her mind [G]someday.'
You took the wheel [C]in Mesa, Arizona.
Said, 'I got [Am]the rest, man.
You [D]can drift away.'

[Outro 1]
[G]
