G Bm Em D C Bm Am
Holed up in Vegas for only one week And I caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road
Am/G F#half dim
Of an automobile expo
Em G C
Turned up the volume and you started to weep
G
And I thought you a lamb
D G C
Even in the sigh of the headlight sea
Am D7
Your tears were salty ocean
Em G C
You opened up the engine and listened to it sing
G
And I called you a lamb[Break]
G - Bm Em - Em D - C Bm - Am - Am/G - F#half dim.
G Bm Em D C Bm Am You knew your daddy til you were thirteen And then he took his leave for the likes of the land Am/G F#half dim And the far off salty ocean Em G C We shook our bodies and we started to scream G And I asked you again D G C Tell me when we grow up do we ever go home? Am D7 You said home becomes the highway Em Bm Em D C Bm Am We ordered movies on a motel screen until you needed me warm inside of your mouth Am/G F#half dim And my skin was salty ocean Em G C And then you recommended I'm a woman to keep G And I called you a man
