             Bb     Gm F Eb
I’m tired of waiting

For you to show me your

Just enough to mess with
       Gm
my head
   F
Arizona
Eb               Bb
Tell me what you mean
when you said

[Interlude]
Gm F Eb Bb (4x) Gm
SPOKEN: "I hopped the
fence
 to the cemetery
At the end of your
cul-dе-sac
When the ball had gone
to hеaven
Nothing ever makes it back
But I’m a cowboy and you’re
a ghost now
Don’t you want to see me fly
To the movies to the drugstore
Nothing makes it out alive"
