[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C/G G Radio waves are coming miles and miles C/G G Bringing only empty boats C/G G Whatever feeling they had when they sailed C/G G Somehow slipped out between the notes
[Chorus]
Em C/G G Out on the desert and feeling lost Em C/G G The bonnet wears a wire albatross Em C/G G Monster ballads and the stations of the cross D C/G Sighing just a little bit D C/G Sighing just a little bit
[Verse 2]
G C/G G And I was thinking 'bout what Katy done C/G G Thinking 'bout what Katy did C/G G The fairest daughter of the Pharoah's son C/G G Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids
[Chorus]
Em C/G G Out on the desert and feeling lost Em C/G G The bonnet wears a wire albatross Em C/G G Monster ballads and the stations of the cross D C/G Sighing just a little bit D C/G Sighing just a little bit
[Bridge]
C/G Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise G D And when you're empty there's so much space for them C/G You turn it off but then a still, small voice G D Comes in blazing from some vast horizon

G C/G G And I was thinking 'bout my river days C/G G And I was thinking 'bout me and Jim C/G G Passing Cairo on a getaway C/G G With every steamboat like a hymn
[Chorus]
Em C/G G Out on the desert and feeling lost Em C/G G The bonnet wears a wire albatross Em C/G G Monster ballads and the stations of the cross D C/G Sighing just a little bit D C/G G Sighing just a little bit
