Intro:  C E F C (2x)
 

C               E      F                C 
No one needs to tell me how to g-g-get down 
C                  E      F                G 
But won't somebody show me how to get back up  
  C              E           F          G 
I thought about killing my landlord but he was pretty nice  
C                    E           F              G 
   Instead I paid my rent on time as often as I could  
          F                              G 
I've been making strange friends in the desert  
                E                F 
Yeah they love Jesus and America too.  
            G                                               
It ain't as bad as it sounds, someday I'll explain it to you  

INTRO 

C                     E      F                C 
It's not that I mind sleeping alone in the grass  
C                         E                  F                      G 
It's just that I've been dreaming since well  maybe I ain't woke up yet 
C               E               F              G 
  But nothing's been quite the same since you shot yourself  
C                    E                  F                                 G 
I don't know if you believe in ghosts I'd hope you'd haunt me if you were one 
           F                            G                             
I've been trying not to steal from everybody I know  
     E                    F 
But so far that's impossible 
                           G                             C 
But here in the desert somehow I hope that someday it won't 
E               F    C 
Be that way for me  
            C E             F      G 
No it won't be that way for me anymore
