[Intro]
A5 C#5 D5 A5
[Verse 1]
F#5On a sunset I-10 mile lies a C#5body beneath a sheet
D5The orange sky don’t seem to mind but I’m on the edge of my sE5eat
F#5There’s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirtC#5y Tucson heat
D5We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by whileA5 I nE5urse F#5defeat
Nurse defeat
F#5It’s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from tC#5ime to time
D5The only consolation comes tying despair to E5a rhyme
F#5And knowing some are at home working, C#5raising kids and saying prayers
D5Unaware of modern science, tA5hey may be wE5rong but I don’t care
[Chorus]
A5They pray for TucsonE5, they pray for me
F#5They pray these roads lead home and won’t tD5ake us too far
Take us too far
F#5 E5 F#5
[Verse 2]
F#5Well we get these years to play with and C#5I’ve been game to roll the dice
D5But lately staring in the mirror has been showing meA5 theE5 price
F#5Of all the reckless toxic gamblingC#5; having my fate hang from a string
D5The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I preA5tend E5helps me sing
[Chorus]
A5So pray for Tucson, pE5ray for me
F#5Pray these roads lead home and D5won’t take us too far
A5Pray for Tucson, E5pray for me
F#5I hope your faith is what E5will carry me
D5If there's something past those stars
[Bridge]
A5Cause the spell breaks B5every time I sC#5ee those fuD5neral cars
A5Or when they throw the B5floodlights onC#5 and I’m leD5ft stranded at the bar
A5I spend so many nights B5tempting fate C#5with this gD5uitar but I’m coming home
[Chorus]
A5So pray for Tucson, E5pray for me
F#5Pray these roads lead home D5and won’t take us too far
A5Pray for Tucson, E5pray for me
F#5Pray these roads lead home D5and won’t take us too far
A5Pray for Tucson, E5pray for me
F#5Pray for Tucson, D5
I hope your faith is what will carry me
If there's something past those stars
Pray for me.
