C (x32010@1)                  Dsus2 (xx0230@1)         Fmaj7With (1x3210@1)hotel rooms and TV's booming loud every night and day
C (x32010@1)               Dsus2 (xx0230@1)          Fmaj7And (1x3210@1)all I have to do is just be careful what I say
C (x32010@1)               Dsus2 (xx0230@1)             Fmaj7And (1x3210@1)do and what I put us through

Dsus2 (xx0230@1)      Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)              CColorado, (x32010@1)lines were down, Des Moines's an underwater town
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)               Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)               CDon't (x32010@1)know what it is, I thought I'd find out here

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

G (320003@1)     F (133211@1)       CHolding (x32010@1)you in my dreams
G (320003@1)    F (133211@1)           CRicocheting (x32010@1)back and forth between my two extremes
G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)              COf (x32010@1)light and dark and all the in betweens
G (320003@1)       F (133211@1)           CAll (x32010@1)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 (x32010@1)         Dsus2 (xx0230@1)      Fmaj7Then (1x3210@1)do it again tomorrow, 
C (x32010@1)         Dsus2 (xx0230@1)     Fmaj7do (1x3210@1)it again tomorrow
