*Intro: E - C#m - Abm - A - B (x2)

E (022100@1)                    C#m (x13321@4)      Abm (133111@4) AB
  I drove through the desert last night
E (022100@1)              C#m (x13321@4)              Abm (133111@4) AB
  I carried the weight of our last fight
 E (022100@1)                    C#m (x13321@4)               AbmElvis (133111@4)singing "Don't be Cruel" and I wonder if you feel it too
      A (x02220@1)              BIt's (x2444x@1)like we're going under.
C#m (x13321@4)                     F#m (244222@1)                   Abm (133111@4)  Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
                    A (x02220@1)               BThe (x2444x@1)question of my heart came to my mind:

A (x02220@1)      EIf (022100@1)I go on with you by my side,
       A (x02220@1) E (022100@1)     B (x2444x@1)           ACan (x02220@1)it be the way it was when we met?
          E (022100@1)                   BDid (x2444x@1)you forget all about those golden nights?

E (022100@1)           C#m (x13321@4)            Abm (133111@4) AB
  Maybe if thieves stole your heart
E (022100@1)           C#m (x13321@4)         Abm (133111@4) Or maybe we just drifted apart.
     A (x02220@1)     BI (x2444x@1)remember driving 
E (022100@1)             C#m (x13321@4)                 Abm (133111@4) In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood, 
 A (x02220@1)               BBacks (x2444x@1)against the windshield.
C#m (x13321@4)                        F#m (244222@1)                         Abm (133111@4)  Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
                   A (x02220@1)          BThat (x2444x@1)paradise is buried in the dust.

A (x02220@1)      EIf (022100@1)I go on with you by my side,
       A (x02220@1) E (022100@1)     B (x2444x@1)           ACan (x02220@1)it be the way it was when we met?
          E (022100@1)                   BDid (x2444x@1)you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)

F#m (244222@1)                             C#m (x13321@4)  All of our plans are falling through.
F#m (244222@1)                                BA
   Sometimes a dream, it don't come true.
