I think C can be played as Cmaj9 in the verses. Cmaj9
A
Hair blowing in the hot wind,
Time hanging from a clothespin There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna
    E
heal                                                                        

                            A
I 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

A  
The kind of love that makes my back hurt
Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
                                            E
She's 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 too soft to hear 

E             G
So I remain between her legs 

    A                      E
Sheltered from all my fears 

      G               A
While bikers glide by highway shrines 

      C        Cmaj9    A
Where pilgrims disappear 

A
I know that trouble's been your good friend
Kept you company on the weekends
                                             E
Kept you company even once your mind was made 

                        A
Said it's over and it's finished
Now a headache is all you're left with
                         G         C          A
We're no different I got debts I'd like to pay 

A
We should move to Sausalito
Living's easy on a house boat
                                              E
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep 

                        A
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 

E             G
So we remain between these waves

    A                      E
Sheltered for all our years

      G               A
While bikers glide by highway shrines

      C        Cmaj9    A
Where pilgrims disappear

      C          Cmaj9
Where time takes icebergs

      C           Cmaj9
Where fields burn westward

      C        Cmaj9     A
Where pilgrims disappear
