intro: A5 , C#5 D5 , A5
F#5 C#5
On a sunset I-10 mile lies a body beneath a sheet
D5 E5
The orange sky don?t seem to mind but I?m on the edge of my seat
F#5 C#5
There?s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirty Tucson heat
D5 A5 E5 F#5
We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeat
Nurse defeat
F#5 C#5
It?s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from time to time
D5 E5
The only consolation comes tying despair to a rhyme
F#5 C#5
And knowing some are at home working, raising kids and saying prayers
D5 A5 E5
Unaware of modern science, they may be wrong but I don?t care
A5 E5
They pray for Tucson, they pray for me
F#5 D5
They pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
Take us too far
F#5 E5 F#5
F#5 C#5
Well we get these years to play with and I?ve been game to roll the dice
D5 A5 E5
But lately staring in the mirror has been showing me the price
F#5 C#5
Of all the reckless toxic gambling; having my fate hang from a string
D5 A5 E5
The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pretend helps me sing
A5 E5
So pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5 D5
Pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
A5 E5
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5 E5
I hope your faith is what will carry me
D5
If there's something past those stars
A5 B5 C#5 D5
Cause the spell breaks every time I see those funeral cars
A5 B5 C#5 D5
Or when they throw the floodlights on and I?m left stranded at the bar
A5 B5 C#5 D5
I spend so many nights tempting fate with this guitar but I?m coming home
A5 E5
So pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5 D5
Pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
A5 E5
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5 D5
Pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
A5 E5
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5 D5
Pray for Tucson,
I hope your faith is what will carry me
If there's something past those stars
Pray for me.
