Tom: Am
A
Hair blowing in the hot wind,
Time hanging from a clothespin
There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna
E
heal
[Verse 2]
A
I smell the leather of your new car
Drive through the desert after nightfall
G C A
Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars all to ourselves
[Verse 3]
A
The kind of love that makes my back hurt
Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
E
She's turning over on a mattress made of air
A
I close my eyes I see a staircase
Leading upwards into blank space
G C A
All of creation makes a sound too soft to hear
[Chorus]
E G
So I remain between her legs
A E
Sheltered from all my fears
G A
While bikers glide by highway shrines
C G A
Where pilgrims disappear
[Verse 4]
A
I know that trouble's been your good friend
Kept you company on the weekends
E
Kept you company even once your mind was made
A
Said it's over and it's finished
Now a headache is all you're left with
G C A
We're no different I got debts I'd like to pay
[Verse 5]
A
We should move to Sausalito
Living's easy on a house boat
E
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
A
In the morning with the sunrise
Look in the water see the blue sky
G C A
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet
[Chorus]
E G
So we remain between these waves
A E
Sheltered for all our years
G A
While bikers glide by highway shrines
C G A
Where pilgrims disappear
C G
Where time takes icebergs
C G
Where fields burn westward
C G A
Where pilgrims disappear
