intro: A , C# D , A

F#                          C#
On a sunset I-10 mile lies a body beneath a sheet
D                                                             E
The orange sky don?t seem to mind but I?m on the edge of my seat
F#                                                    C#
There?s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirty Tucson heat
D                                                         A  E    F#
We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeat

Nurse defeat

F#                                                          C#
It?s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from time to time
D                                           E
The only consolation comes tying despair to a rhyme
F#                                    C#
And knowing some are at home working, raising kids and saying prayers
D                             A            E
Unaware of modern science, they may be wrong but I don?t care


A                    E
They pray for Tucson, they pray for me
F#                                        D
They pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far

Take us too far
F#  E  F#

F#                                        C#
Well we get these years to play with and I?ve been game to roll the dice
D                                                   A   E
But lately staring in the mirror has been showing me the price
F#                                 C#
Of all the reckless toxic gambling; having my fate hang from a string
D                                                         A    E
The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pretend helps me sing


A                    E
So pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#                              D
Pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
A                E
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#                         E
I hope your faith is what will carry me
D
If there's something past those stars


A                      B              C#        D
Cause the spell breaks every time I see those funeral cars
A                      B              C#        D
Or when they throw the floodlights on and I?m left stranded at the bar
A                      B              C#        D
I spend so many nights tempting fate with this guitar but I?m coming home


A                   E
So pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#                         D
Pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
A                E
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#                         D
Pray these roads lead home and won?t take us too far
A                E
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#                D
Pray for Tucson,

I hope your faith is what will carry me

If there's something past those stars

Pray for me.
