VERSE 1:
E6E6 A augmentedA
Julia sang late into the night
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
Salvation was a light hanging in the street for the cars on Alvarado
E6E6 A augmentedA
Spanish words advertising fast food chains
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
Line the dirty streets, cracking in the heat that lead to Alvarado
E6E6 A augmentedA
There?s water still although it is unnatural
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
But the price is getting high as the hours roll by like the cars on Alvarado
E6E6 A augmentedA
She?s sleeping drunk in the desert vegetation
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
Go out for a walk it?s colder when it?s dark but we can always go home
CHORUS:
E MajorE
Oh desire, you have a really twisted sense of humor
A augmentedA E MajorE
To turn a saint into a sinner your lessons are so cruel
E MajorE
Hello desire, you always seem to find me when I?m hiding
A augmentedA
If I could lose you I wouldn?t use you,
E MajorE
you know you?ve got me slipping and sliding
F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE
in and out of my mind
*finger picking*
VERSE 2:
E6E6 A augmentedA
Resistance can submit to an existence
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
Pinch behind the ear, getting wetter every year and the oxygen is fading
E6E6 A augmentedA
There?s dust in the wind getting kicked up by the traffic jam
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
Brings it to my door so I have to scrub the floor outside on the patio
E6E6 A augmentedA
I hear restless girls playing hard to get with desperate boys
F# minorF#m A/F# E MajorE
Standing in a line but I haven?t got the time to wait here for the doors to open.
CHORUS:
E MajorE
Oh desire, you have a really twisted sense of humor
A augmentedA E MajorE
To turn a saint into a sinner your lessons are so cruel
E MajorE
Hello desire, you always seem to find me when I?m hiding
A augmentedA
If I could lose you I wouldn?t use you,
E MajorE
you know you?ve got me slipping and sliding
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
in and out
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
In and out
F# minorF#m A augmentedA 
F#m7F#m7 E MajorE
In and out of my mind
*BREAK*
E MajorE

I really want you to know
E MajorE

C# minorC#m
The way you seem so disappointed
When I?m not trying
