[Intro]
G Bm Am/E D
[Verse 1]
G Here in Rodriguez Bm The warm is a lover Am/E A hand full of rainfall D A kiss from a stranger G Who shouts from the terrace Bm “You’re all still in danger! Am/E I was once you D Only here
Only younger”
Am I gave up my laughter Em To pay off my ransom Am As I strolled into diners Em With skies of fluorescent Am Married to pay phones Em And numbers in stalls Am My name is your husbands D His name is a last call
[Verse 2]
G Here in Apache Bm I sat in the front seat Am/E Convincing the crosswords D To lay here in lowercase G Stop lighting fashion Bm And you in your overcoat Am/E Talking of movies D And families not seen before Am I was kept quiet Em In the back of a trailer Am Holding the tapes Em Of songs never heard Am Coughing up dessert Em He smiled then assured me Am D “All is not lost only hidden till later”
[Verse 3]
G Here in Elaina Bm The skies are a firework show Am/E D No ticket is needed to enter here G Two step you way down Bm The street I first met you on Am/E You and your radio D Me and my grand mama Am Dressed in her turquoise Em And me with Loraine Am Em Walking like ghosts in the frame Am Blurring the photos Em You shouted “Forget it!” Am All is not lost D Even if you just wait for it
[Verse 4]
G Night time Laredo Bm The stars are a stanza Am/E The parking lot poems D I scrawled onto paper bags G This will go nowhere Bm Addressing the atmosphere Am/E I was a nobody D Talking to tape machines Am Recording the T.V. Em And the sound of my voice Am Em Playing it back at half speed Am Pulling the bed sheets Em And frames from the walls Am Searching for peace D That was mine all along
