Em                               B7 
He promised her a new and better life, out in arizona 
Em                                B7 
Underneath the blue never ending sky, swore that he was gonna 
Am                   Bm     
Get things in order, he'd send for her 
         C                         D 
When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind 
 

      G        Bm 
There is no Arizona 
    Em             C 
No painted desert, no Sedona 
    G                 D 
If there was a Grand Canyon 
           Em                  C 
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her 
     Am                      Bm     
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her 
        C 
She'll wake up and find 
      D        Em 
There is no Arizona  
 
 
          Em                       B7 
She got a postcard with no return address, 
               Em 
postmarked Tombstone 
                                       B7 
It said "I don't know where I'm goin' next but when I do I'll let you know" 
Am               Bm 
May, June, July, she wonders why 
C                     D 
She's still waiting, she'll keep waiting 'cause  
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
 
C 
Each day the sun sets into the west  
     Em 
Her heart sinks lower in her chest and 
C 
Friends keep asking when she's going 
Am                      D 
Finally she tells them don't you know 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 

Em                               B7 
He promised her a new and better life, out in Arizona
