+++INTRO+++

Am  E7  Am  E7

+++VERSE 1+++
Am                               E7
He promised her a new and better life out in Arizona.
Am                                E7
Underneath the blue, never-ending sky, he swore that he was gonna
Dm                      Em 
Get things in order.  He'd send for her.
        F                  G
When he left her behind it never crossed her mind...

+++CHORUS+++
      C        G          Am              F 
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona.
      C               G                Am                   F
If there was a Grand Canyon she could fill it up with the lies he told her.
    Dm                      Em
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her.
       F                        G         Am  E7  Am  E7
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.

+++VERSE 2+++
Am                                   E7
 She got a postcard with no return address; postmarked Tombstone.
Am                                         E7
 That said, "I don't know where I'm goin' next, but when I do I'll let you 
know."

Dm                 Em
May, June, July, she wonders why
 F                         G
She's still waiting, and she'll keep waiting, 'cause...

+++REPEAT CHORUS (Follows)+++
***     
      C        G          Am              F 
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona.
      C               G                Am                   F
If there was a Grand Canyon she could fill it up with the lies he told her.
    Dm                      Em
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her.
       F                        G         Am  E7  Am  E7
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.

+++BRIDGE+++
Dm                     Em
Each day the sun sets into the west 
     F                 G
Her heart sinks lower in her chest, and
Dm 
Friends keep asking
 Em
When she's going
 F
Finally she tells them,
  G
"Don't you know?..."

+++REPEAT CHORUS (Follows)+++

      C        G          Am              F 
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona.
      C               G                Am                   F
If there was a Grand Canyon she could fill it up with the lies he told her.
    Dm                      Em
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her.
       F                        G         Am  E7  Am  E7
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.
