[Intro]
G Bm Am/E D
[Verse 1]
GHere in Rodriguez
BmThe warm is a lover
Am/EA hand full of rainfall
DA kiss from a stranger
GWho shouts from the terrace
Bm“You’re all still in danger!
Am/EI was once you
DOnly here
Only younger”
AmI gave up my laughter
EmTo pay off my ransom
AmAs I strolled into diners
EmWith skies of fluorescent
AmMarried to pay phones
EmAnd numbers in stalls
AmMy name is your husbands
DHis name is a last call
[Verse 2]
GHere in Apache
BmI sat in the front seat
Am/EConvincing the crosswords
DTo lay here in lowercase
GStop lighting fashion
BmAnd you in your overcoat
Am/ETalking of movies
DAnd families not seen before
AmI was kept quiet
EmIn the back of a trailer
AmHolding the tapes
EmOf songs never heard
AmCoughing up dessert
EmHe smiled then assured me
Am“All is not lost onlDy hidden till later”
[Verse 3]
GHere in Elaina
BmThe skies are a firework show
Am/ENo ticket is nDeeded to enter here
GTwo step you way down
BmThe street I first met you on
Am/EYou and your radio
DMe and my grand mama
AmDressed in her turquoise
EmAnd me with Loraine
AmWalking like ghosts in tEmhe frame
AmBlurring the photos
EmYou shouted “Forget it!”
AmAll is not lost
DEven if you just wait for it
[Verse 4]
GNight time Laredo
BmThe stars are a stanza
Am/EThe parking lot poems
DI scrawled onto paper bags
GThis will go nowhere
BmAddressing the atmosphere
Am/EI was a nobody
DTalking to tape machines
AmRecording the T.V.
EmAnd the sound of my voice
AmPlaying it back atEm half speed
AmPulling the bed sheets
EmAnd frames from the walls
AmSearching for peace
DThat was mine all along
