I have a friend, swear she saw Jesus
Am F
Hovering above her lonely bed
C G
She said it changed her life forever
F G C
"Whatever works" I said
I sit with her changing channels
It's so hard to concentrate
I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure
She's having a better day
F C F C
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
F Em Am F G Am
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
F C F C
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
F Em Am F G C
To see real tears that seem sincere once before I die
The other night I talked to an old flame
Who finally said why he moved on
He said I didn't have faith in anything
I knew he wasn't wrong
I saw two lovers in the park
With that dreamy look of lust in their eyes
The whole world smiled as they passed by
They just make me mad
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart, once before I die
Em F G Am
I'll get down on my knees, something I don't believe
Em F G
Somebody help me please, I'm starting to repeat myself
G
I'm starting to repeat myself
So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry
I'd love to see a miracle once before I die
Once before I die
