A
Hair blowin in the hot wind

Time hanging from a clothes pin

                                        E
Theres no sorrow the suns not gonna help

                           A
Smell the leather of your new car

Drive through the desert after nightfall

                                 G       C      A     
Sleep on the shoulder keep the stars all to ourselves

Verse 2:

A
The kinda love that makes my back hurt

Wearing nothing but a T-shirt

                                           E
Shes turning over on a mattress made of air

                             A
I close my eyes I see a staircase

Leading upwards into blank space

                           G      C        A
All of creation makes a sound to soft to hear

CHORUS:

   E           G                
So I remain between her legs

    A                      E
sheltered from all my fears

      G               A                 
While bikers glide by highway shrines 

      C                 A
Where pilgrims dissapear

Verse 3:

A
I know that troubles been your good friend

It kept you company on the weekends

                                                E
It kept you company even once your mind was made

                            A
But now its over and its finished

Yea a headaches all your left with

                           G       C      A
We're no differant I got debts I like to pay

Verse 4:

A                          
Well we should move to Saucalito

Livings easy on a house boat

                                             E
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep

                                A
Wake in the morning with the sunrise

Look in the water see the blue sky

                        G         C      A
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet

Chorus 2:

E              G
So we remain between these waves 

    A                      E
Sheltered for all our years

       G              A
While bikers glide by highway shrines

       C           G        A
Where pilgrims dissapear

OUT:

       C           G
Where time takes icebergs

       C           G                        
Where fields burn westward 

       C           G         A
Where pilgrims disapear
