[A] [C#] [D] [F#] [E] [B]
intro: A, C# D, A
[F#]On a sunset I-10 mile lies a[C#] body beneath a sheet
[D]The orange sky donâ??t seem to mind but Iâ??m on the edge of m[E]y seat
[F#]Thereâ??s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dir[C#]ty Tucson heat
[D]We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while [A]I n[E]urse [F#]defeat
Nurse defeat
[F#]Itâ??s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from [C#]time to time
[D]The only consolation comes tying despair to [E]a rhyme
[F#]And knowing some are at home working, [C#]raising kids and saying prayers
[D]Unaware of modern science, the[A]y may be wron[E]g but I donâ??t care
[A]They pray for Tucson,[E] they pray for me
[F#]They pray these roads lead home and wonâ??[D]t take us too far
Take us too far
[F#] [E] [F#]
[F#]Well we get these years to play with and I[C#]â??ve been game to roll the dice
[D]But lately staring in the mirror has been showing me[A] the[E] price
[F#]Of all the reckless toxic gambling;[C#] having my fate hang from a string
[D]The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pre[A]tend [E]helps me sing
[A]So pray for Tucson, p[E]ray for me
[F#]Pray these roads lead home and w[D]onâ??t take us too far
[A]Pray for Tucson, [E]pray for me
[F#]I hope your faith is what w[E]ill carry me
[D]If there's something past those stars
[A]Cause the spell breaks [B]every time I se[C#]e those fu[D]neral cars
[A]Or when they throw the [B]floodlights on [C#]and Iâ??m [D]left stranded at the bar
[A]I spend so many nights [B]tempting fate w[C#]ith this g[D]uitar but Iâ??m coming home
[A]So pray for Tucson, [E]pray for me
[F#]Pray these roads lead home [D]and wonâ??t take us too far
[A]Pray for Tucson, [E]pray for me
[F#]Pray these roads lead home [D]and wonâ??t take us too far
[A]Pray for Tucson, [E]pray for me
[F#]Pray for Tucson,[D]
I hope your faith is what will carry me
If there's something past those stars
Pray for me.
