Chords

[Verse 1] (When playing the verses, play the root note of the chords twice strumming - use open chords)
A           C
Follow me into the desert

     G         D    A
As thirsty as you are

A                  C
Crack a smile and cut your mouth

     G          D    A
And drown in alcohol

       A              C
cause down below the truth is lying

 G              D    A
Beneath the riverbed

A                        C
So quench yourself and drink the water

       G       D          A
That flows below her head
[Pre-Chorus]
C    D    E
    Oh no

C    D    E
    There she goes

C         G     D     C     D         C       D         C
    Out in the   sunshine     the sun is mine   the sun is mine
A [Chorus]
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I shot my love today would you cry for me

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you lie for me

A              G                F    C       G   Eb D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
[Verse 2]
A                    C
Close your eyes and bow your head

   G         D        A
I need a little sympathy

       A                   C              G
'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone

    D      A
Who isn't me

   A                     C
So kill your health and kill yourself

         G       D       A
And kill everything you love

    A                    C
And if you live you can fall to pieces

     G       D      A
And suffer with my ghost
[Chorus]
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I shot my love today would you cry for me

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you lie for me

A              G                F    C       G   Eb D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
[Bridge] (strum each chord three times except D C A)
F7                   A
Just a burden in my hand

C                    Eb7
Just an anchor on my heart

A7                   C
Just a tumor in my head

                     G   Eb D
(...and I'm in the dark)
[Verse 3]
   A           C
So follow me into the desert

    G         D     A
As desperate as you are

    A                    C
The moon is glued to a picture of heaven

     G             D         A
And all the little pigs have god
[Pre-Chorus]
C    A
Oh no

C          A
There she goes

C           A  C        A       C             C       A
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
[Chorus]
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I shot my love today would you cry for me

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you lie for me

A              G                F    C       G   Eb D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
