VERSE 1:
[E6]Julia sang late into the [A]night
Salvation was a [F#m]light hanging in the [A/F#]street for the cars on Al[E]varado
[E6]Spanish words advertising [A]fast food chains
Line the dirty [F#m]streets, cracking in the [A/F#]heat that lead to Al[E]varado
[E6]There's water still although it is unn[A]atural
But the price is getting [F#m]high as the hours roll [A/F#]by like the cars on A[E]lvarado
[E6]She's sleeping drunk in the desert vege[A]tation
Go out for a [F#m]walk it's colder when it's d[A/F#]ark but we can always [E]go home
CHORUS:
[E]Oh desire, you have a really twisted sense of humor
[A]To turn a saint into a sinner [E]your lessons are so cruel
[E]Hello desire, you always seem to find me when I'm hiding
[A]If I could lose you I wouldn't use you,
[E]you know you've got me slipping and sliding
[F#m]in and[A] out of my[E] mind
*finger picking*
VERSE 2:
[E6]Resistance can submit to an ex[A]istence
Pinch behind the[F#m] ear, getting wetter every [A/F#]year and the oxygen is [E]fading
[E6]There's dust in the wind getting kicked up by the tr[A]affic jam
Brings it to my [F#m]door so I have to scrub the [A/F#]floor outside on the [E]patio
I hear [E6]restless girls playing hard to get with [A]desperate boys
Standing in a [F#m]line but I haven't got the [A/F#]time to wait here for the [E]doors to open.
CHORUS:
[E]Oh desire, you have a really twisted sense of humor
[A]To turn a saint into a sinner [E]your lessons are so cruel
[E]Hello desire, you always seem to find me when I'm hiding
[A]If I could lose you I wouldn't use you,
[E]you know you've got me slipping and sliding
[F#m]in and [A]out
[F#m]In and [A]out
[F#m]In and [A]out of my [F#m7]mind[E]
*BREAK*
[E](strummed backwards)

CONCLUSION:
I can't [E]make it without you
You're blood is in [C#m]my head
Swaying like wine
And all the [E]bullsh*t I said
I'll take it [C#m]back now
I [A]really want you to know
[E]I'm sorry
The way you seem so dis[C#m]appointed
When I'm not trying
And the [E]healing around us
It makes me think we're [C#m]further
Than [A]you expected
[A]Brother[E]
[A]Sister[E]
Repeat^ and add 2nd time:
[A]Lover[E]
[A]Mother[E]
