      [Intro]
Amaj7  Emaj7  x2


[Verse 1]
             Amaj7                                                  Emaj7
God gave you red light on every green road sign when you left Santa Fe
            Amaj7                                                  Emaj7
We were two string beans and you were too nineteen to be blowin' away


[Hook]
           Amaj7                                                               Emaj7
There were thieves in the square hidin' hands and hidin' prayers and all their mumblin'
        Amaj7                                                    Emaj7
Nothing left you alone tangled heels and tiny vireos singin' something


[Verse 2]
               Amaj7                                                          Emaj7
Stuck with her pin curls your mama was scared of the world it was born with a bang
                  Amaj7                                                      Emaj7
I was steppin' on sea shells by the old Mission San Miguel when a bell tower rang


[Hook]
        Amaj7                                                          Emaj7
And the sky fell apart heard the rain, I heard your heart and what was spoken
               Amaj7                                                        Emaj7
'Cause nothin' bends for a name nothin' wants to stay the same and nothin's broken


[Bridge]
          Dmaj7             Amaj7
When your friends and their friends
         Emaj7
Pass the pipe or tie the knot
     Dmaj7       Amaj7
Honeymoon music played
       B7
In the drive-thru parking lot
      Dmaj7       Amaj7
I woke up by your bed
           Emaj7
You were wanderin' around the yard
       Dmaj7     Amaj7
Window wide as a day
        B7
But the sun just hit too hard


[Hook]
      Amaj7                                                       Emaj7
In a home void of doors mama's house slowed a little more in the evenin'
      Amaj7                                                         Emaj7
Naked boys throwin' stones beady eyes and desert bones they saw you leavin'

[Instrumental]
Amaj7 Emaj7 x2

[Verse 4]
             Amaj7                                                          Emaj7
God gave you bobwhites and the good kind of black night when you left Santa Fe
             Amaj7                                               Emaj7
New Mexico's no breeze and you were so nineteen you were blowin' away
