Song For Santa Fe Dry Lips Ukulele chords by Jane Tragic

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: Am

Verse 1:
Am                       Dm
  Dry lips to cigarette, cigarette to dry lips
     Am                             E7
If I knew the sun was exploding I’d want it to end like this
Am                        Dm
  So many years I’ve been   wandering round
   Am                            E7
Collecting new identities like a human lost and found
     Am
All around

Am                                   Dm
All I can stomach are cigarettes and Pat the Bunny’s voice
Am                                   E7
  Sometimes I try to eat but I don’t think I have a choice
      Am                                 Dm
And I daydream now and then that there’s    no food, just folk
    Am                         E7
And I don’t have a body, I’m a disparate cloud of smoke

Chorus:
        Am                   Dm
So I’ll run, run away to the desert
     Am                                E7
I’ll take the love inside my heart and   lay it to rest
         Am                       Dm
And I’ll drop it off the boat and    into the Severn
    Am                               E7
And leave this shitshow town behind, you and all the rest
          Am
All the rest


Verse 2:
Am                           Dm
  Down in the desert there’s something big and wise
   Am                       E7
It eats away at sadness whenever someone cries
   Am                        Dm
It chews away humidity, it devours the rain
    Am                                 E7
The sky is clear and full of stars, it conquers all my pain
          Am
All my pain

      Am                            Dm
And I hate little tensions like the one between you and me
         Am                        E7
Like the one between the clear sky and the wine-dark sea
    Am                                    Dm
And when I say your name you know there’s tension in there too
Am                         E7
Such a little tension, how can I get to you?


Chorus:
        Am                    Dm
So I’ll run, run away all the way to Santa Fe
   Am                         E7
My dad says I’ll be miserable anywhere I roam
       Am                               Dm
But at least those little tensions will finally go away
    Am                         E7
And I’ll have peace and quiet, just me, all alone
        Am
all alone


Verse 3:
   Am                         Dm
My friend gave me a hug and I wept into her shoulder
      Am                         E7
I was born to be young and I was born to get older
    Am                      Dm
And if I live past thirty I swear to god I will
   Am                            E7
Be playing all my music, I'll be in the desert still
                 Am
I’ll be there still

         Am                           Dm
Clamp my feet to the earth, clamp the earth to the sky
Am                            E7
Clamp my heart shut with an unbreakable chain
Am                      Dm
  Clamp my eyes shut so    I don’t cry
  Am                          E7
I need a love so hard it gets    clamped to my brain


Chorus:
        Am                   Dm
So I’ll run, run away to the sage and the mountains
    Am                        E7
The dry air and the wild cows and the dusty sky
         Am                           Dm
And I’ll breathe in the wind and I’ll bathe in the fountains
    Am                          E7
And love myself more than I did when I said goodbye
           Am
Said goodbye


Outro:
      Am N.C.
And I only like you when I’m drunk and high
N.C.
and maybe that’s a reason to quit
