     D9    G             Em7
When I first came to see you 

  G                   D9
I called it Houston street (like the city)

         G     Em7             G
Could we meet? Show me all the things you see?

    D9    G
I'm one more here

      Em7         G
Some old-timer pioneer

      D9       G
Who believes with shaken faith

Em7               G
I still have some cool

        Bm             A           G      
I could leave you here with your 'people'

          Bm               A       G   
If I'm a flag you'd not prefer to wave

Chorus:

       D9  Em7      G
You're always in my head

       D9     Em7   G
You're just what I wanted

   D9  Em7        G
I live in constant debt

        D9 Em7  G
To feel you, invented


Bm  A  G [x2]


     D9    G        Em7
When I first came to LA 

   G                   D9
I met you the old fashioned way

     G
Too drunk

    Em7         G
And even worse, much too lonely

     D9        G
I'll leave it there

   Em7           G
A busted homesteader

     D9       G
Who believes in virgin grace

Em7                G
Somehow I'll stay proud

    Bm               A      G
Any dick can roll up in a suit

         Bm                A       G
But only I would know what really moves you


Chorus:

       D9  Em7      G
You're always in my head

       D9     Em7   G
You're just what I wanted

   D9  Em7        G
I live in constant debt

        D9 Em7  G
To feel you, invented

Hold D

Prelude:  G / D/D9 [x6]

Bridge:

               D       G
There's a cinematic end

          D            A
I picture it just right

                        D          G
Having trouble with the right words

                          D   A
But you tell me with your eyes

                       D          G
There's something good I've missed

          D           A
Something I cant' find

          D           G
Do you believe me now?

                     A
Can you see it in my eyes?

             G
see it in my eyes?

             G 
see it in my eyes?

Prelude: D / D9 / D [x16]

I live in constant debt

To feel you, invented
