Somewhere In New Mexico chords by Jill Sobule

Chords with lyrics

Beautiful, simple song that should've been up here a while ago.


     C majorC           E minorEm
I have a friend, swear she saw Jesus
      A minorAm       FF
Hovering above her lonely bed
      C majorC          G+G
She said it changed her life forever
FF     G+G    C majorC
"Whatever works" I said

I sit with her changing channels
It's so hard to concentrate
I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure
She's having a better day
     FF     C majorC          FF    C majorC
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
  FF     E minorEm   A minorAm    FF    G+G    C majorC
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
     FF      C majorC     FF        C majorC
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
FF      G+G     E minorEm    A minorAm FF   G+G    C majorC
To see real tears that seem sincere once before I die

The other night I talked to an old flame
Who finally said why he moved on
He said I didn't have faith in anything
I knew he wasn't wrong

I saw two lovers in the park
With that dreamy look of lust in their eyes
The whole world smiled as they passed by
They just make me mad

So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart, once before I die

E minorEm         FF   G+G          A minorAm
I'll get down on my knees, something I don't believe
E minorEm        FF      G+G
Somebody help me please, I'm starting to repeat myself
  G+G
I'm starting to repeat myself

So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
I'd love to see a miracle once before I die
Once before I die
