Chords

[Intro] D C G D C G D C G D [Verse 1]
          Am           C
It's the ways of her father

           D                C     D       G
If she's gonna change she hasn't done it yet

          Am         C
And the desert is calling to me

 D               C    D       G
Run before the final trap is set

           Am          C
All roads lead to the city

            D             C        D        G
Where the dudes and the dykes all look the same

      Am             C
Lady lays out the pattern

           D           C    D         G    (pause before chorus)
With the parts of her body that seem tame
[Chorus]
  G     C      D
Death valley lives

      G    C     D          C      G
And Tracy isn't sure what really gives
[Verse 2]
Am              C
   Act like a child

            D             C       D         G
And I'll respond with my well-rehearsed fare-well

Am               C
   Quoting the verse

            D                 C       D        G
That you bought but weren't quite prepared to sell
[Pre-Chorus]
       Em            G
Saying    I think I love you

Em          D
   Maybe I care
C (pause before chorus) It's not fair [Chorus]
  G     C      D
Death valley lives

      G    C     D          C      G
And Tracy isn't sure what really gives
[Bridge]
            Am   D
And it's a sore spot

           Bm            E
When the room's burning hot

          C                               D
And the desert air just cannot bring you down

           Am    D
Still the bed's warm

       Bm   E
But a cold arm

  D         C       G     D        G
Keeps me floating inches off the ground
[Chorus]
  G     C      D
Death valley lives

      G    C     D          C      G
And Tracy isn't sure what really gives
[Verse 3]
Am                C
   Go paint your toes

           D             C       D      G
Wipe your nose and then come to say good-bye

Am           C
   And all along

        D            C   D   G
Tell yourself I am wrong if I try
[Pre-Chorus]
       Em             G
Crying    sorry it's over

Em              D
   I'm not to blame
C (pause before chorus) What a game [Chorus]
  G     C      D
Death valley lives

     G       C    D          C      G   (pause before outro)
Now I’m not even sure what really gives
[Outro]
D C G
      Ho!

D C G
      Ha!
