[A]Follow me [C]into the desert
As [G]thirsty as [D]you [A]are
[A]Crack a smile and [C]cut your mouth
And [G]drown in [D]alcohol[A]
cause [A]down below the [C]truth is lying
[G]Beneath the [D]riverbed[A]
[A]So quench yourself and [C]drink the water
That [G]flows [D]below her head[A]

Pre-Chorus

[C] [D]Oh no[E]
[C] [D]There [E]she goes
[C] Out in[G] the [D] [C]sunshine [D] the sun [C]is mine [D] the sun [C]is mine
[A]

Chorus

[A]I shot my [G]love today [F]would you [C]cry for [G]me[D][Eb]
[A]I lost my [G]head again [F]would you [C]lie for [G]me[D][Eb]
[A]I left her in [G]the sand just a [F]burden [C]in my [G][Eb]hand[D]
[A]I lost my [G]head again [F]would you [C]cry for [G]me[D][Eb]

Verse 2

[A]Close your eyes and [C]bow your head
I [G]need a [D]little [A]sympathy
'Cause [A]fear is strong and [C]love's for [G]everyone
Who [D]isn't [A]me
So [A]kill your health and [C]kill yourself
And kill [G][D]everything you [A]love
And [A]if you live you can [C]fall to pieces
And [G]suffer [D]with my [A]ghost

Chorus

Bridge

(strum each chord three times except D C A)
[F7]Just a burden in my [A]hand
[C]Just an anchor on my [Eb7]heart
[A7]Just a tumor in my [C]head
(...and I'm in the [G][Eb]dark)[D]

Verse 3

So [A]follow me [C]into the desert
As [G]desperate [D]as you [A]are
The [A]moon is glued to a [C]picture of heaven
And [G]all the little [D]pigs have [A]god

Pre-Chorus

[C]Oh no[A]
[C]There she [A]goes
[C]Out in the [A][C]sunshine the [A]sun is [C]mine the sun is[C] mine[A]
