         C                     Em 
I have a friend, swear she saw Jesus 
           Am             F 
Hovering above her lonely bed 
            C                   G 
She said it changed her life forever 
F          G        C 
"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 

          F          C                    F       C 
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico 
    F          Em      Am       F        G       C 
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home 
          F            C          F               C 
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry 
F           G          Em       Am  F      G       C 
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 

Em                  F      G                    Am 
I'll get down on my knees, something I don't believe 
Em               F           G 
Somebody help me please, I'm starting to repeat myself 
    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
