[C]No one needs to[E] tell me[F] how to get (get get)[G] down
[C]But won't somebody[E] show me[F] how to get back [G]up?
[C]I thought about [E]killing my [F]landlord, but [G]he was pretty nice
[C]Instead I paid my [E]rent on time[F] as often as I[G] could
[F]I've been making strange friends in the[G] desert, yeah
They love[E] Jesus, and America[F], too
[F]It ain't as bad as it sounds, som[G]eday I'll explain it to you
C E F G x2
[C]It's not that I mind [E]sleeping [F]all alone in the [G]grass
[C]It's just that I've been [E]dreaming since ... [F]well, maybe I ain't woke up [G]yet
[C]But nothing's [E]been quite the [F]same since you [G]shot yourself
[C]I don't know if you[E] believed in ghosts, but [F]I hope you'd haunt me if you were [G]one
[F]I've been trying not to steal from [G]everybody I know
[E]But so far that's impos[F]sible
F G C (pause)
But here in the desert, someday I hope that it won't
C E F G C (pause)
Be that way for me, no it won't
[C]Be[E] that way for [F]me, [C]anymore
