Verse 1:
Bm                  Em
An empty road and a rusted sky
  Bm         F#7       Bm
An abandoned mardi gras
Bm              D
You led me to a mountaintop
  Bm       F#7        Bm
So I could see it all
    Bm     F#m       D
Your salty kiss, you promised this
F#7
That I could have you all

And now with you here by my side
F#7            Bm
I will never fall

  G                 Em
So show me where it hurts
                   Bm            D
I'll kiss it so it don't get any worse
              G                      Em
A ticker tape parade, the traffic barricades
             Bm        D
Waiting on a long motorcade
              G                  Em
I will be the car and all the bodyguards
           Bm                   D
I will be the silence in your eyes
               G               Em

I will be your motorcade

Verse 2:
Bm               Em
An effigy   of Maximon
   Bm        F#7          Bm
I've come to make my wish
  Bm                D
A hole was drilled, where his mouth was filled
    Bm       F#7        Bm
with wine and cigarettes
   Bm   A        D
A muggy night, a fire bright
      F#7
and a reggae band plays "Israelites"
Bm                  G6
You on my arm,  Your addictive charms
            F#7             Bm
You're like heroin to me tonight

Chorus:
  G                 Em
So show me where it hurts
                   Bm            D
I'll kiss it so it don't get any worse
              G                      Em
A ticker tape parade, the traffic barricades
             Bm        D
Waiting on a long motorcade
              G                  Em
I will be the car and all the bodyguards
           Bm                   D
I will be the silence in your eyes
               G               Em

Verse 3:
  Bm               Em
The driver veers, grinds the gears
  Bm         F#7       Bm
The sky is dripping red
   Bm                   D
You scratch your last,  minute vows
     Bm       F#7        Bm
in an old cigar box lid
 Bm   A        D
Night falls, the engine stalls
       F#7
in this Guatemala chicken bus
    Bm                G6
They took it all, my watch, our rings,
              F#7               Bm
but they were simply things to us

Chorus:
  G                 Em
So show me where it hurts
                   Bm            D
I'll kiss it so it don't get any worse
              G                      Em
A ticker tape parade, the traffic barricades
             Bm        D
Waiting on a long motorcade
              G                  Em
I will be the car and all the bodyguards
             Bm                 D
I will be the stillness in your fear
               G               Em
I will be your aid, I will serenade
              F#7
I will be your motorcade
