CMaj9Cmaj9


A augmentedA
Hair blowing in the hot wind,

Time hanging from a clothespin

There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna
  E MajorE
heal
              A augmentedA
I smell the leather of your new car

Drive through the desert after nightfall
                G+G     C majorC      A augmentedA
Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars all to ourselves

A augmentedA
The kind of love that makes my back hurt

Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
                      E MajorE
She's turning over on a mattress made of air
            A augmentedA
I close my eyes I see a staircase

Leading upwards into blank space
            G+G     C majorC   A augmentedA
All of creation makes a sound too soft to hear

E MajorE       G+G
So I remain between her legs
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
Sheltered from all my fears
   G+G        A augmentedA
While bikers glide by highway shrines
   C majorC    CMaj9Cmaj9  A augmentedA
Where pilgrims disappear

A augmentedA
I know that trouble's been your good friend

Kept you company on the weekends
                       E MajorE
Kept you company even once your mind was made
            A augmentedA
Said it's over and it's finished

Now a headache is all you're left with
             G+G     C majorC     A augmentedA
We're no different I got debts I'd like to pay

A augmentedA
We should move to Sausalito

Living's easy on a house boat
                       E MajorE
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
            A augmentedA
In the morning with the sunrise

Look in the water see the blue sky
           G+G     C majorC     A augmentedA
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet


E MajorE       G+G
So we remain between these waves
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
Sheltered for all our years
   G+G        A augmentedA
While bikers glide by highway shrines
   C majorC    CMaj9Cmaj9  A augmentedA
Where pilgrims disappear
   C majorC     CMaj9Cmaj9
Where time takes icebergs
   C majorC      CMaj9Cmaj9
Where fields burn westward
   C majorC    CMaj9Cmaj9   A augmentedA
Where pilgrims disappear
