C                      Dm             F
You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe
C                    Dm           F
With hotel rooms and TV's booming loud every night and day
C                 Dm            F
And all I have to do is just be careful what I say
C                 Dm               F
And do and what I put us through


Dm        F                C
Colorado, lines were down, Des Moines's an underwater town
Dm                 F                 C
Don't know what it is, I thought I'd find out here
Dm                  F           C
It's moving forward as it must, 95 and blowing dust
Dm               F           C                             Dm
Sitting here and missing us, it couldn't be more clear


You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe
With dreams and postponements along the way
Conditioned by the outstretched miles and high desert air
Thinking I might find you there

Holding you in my dreams
Ricocheting back and forth between my two extremes
Of light and dark and all the in betweens
All of us know too well exactly what that means

Will you still be here waiting for me here in Santa Fe?
With arms and obligations and tears along the way
And all I have to do is revel in here everyday
     C           Dm        F
Then do it again tomorrow, 
C           Dm       F
do it again tomorrow
C           Dm       F             C
Do it again tomorrow in some other place
