Key: A
Introduction:
[Verse 1]
(When playing the verses, play the root note of the chords twice
strumming - use open chords)
A C
Follow me into the desert
G D A
As thirsty as you are
A C
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
G D A
And drown in alcohol
A C
cause down below the truth is lying
G D A
Beneath the riverbed
A C
So quench yourself and drink the water
G D A
That flows below her head
[Pre-Chorus]
C D E
Oh no
C D E
There she goes
C G D C D C D C
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
A
[Chorus]
A G F C G D# D
I shot my love today would you cry for me
A G F C G D# D
I lost my head again would you lie for me
A G F C G D# D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
A G F C G D# D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1, chords A, C, G, D, A)
Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
cause fear is strong and loves for everyone
Who isn' t me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
[Chorus]
A G F C G D# D
I shot my love today would you cry for me
A G F C G D# D
I lost my head again would you lie for me
A G F C G D# D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
A G F C G D# D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
[Bridge]
(strum each chord three times except D C A)
F7 A
Just a burden in my hand
C Eb7
Just an anchor on my heart
A7 C
Just a tumor in my head
G D# D
(...and I' m in the dark)
[Verse 3]
So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
And all the little pigs have god
[Pre-Chorus]
C A
Oh no
C A
There she goes
C A C A C C A
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
[Chorus]
A G F C G D# D
I shot my love today would you cry for me
A G F C G D# D
I lost my head again would you lie for me
A G F C G D# D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
A G F C G D# D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
