[Verse 1]
  CNo one needs to Etell me Fhow to g-g-get dCown
  CBut won't somebody Eshow me Fhow to get back Gup
I Cthought about kEilling my laFndlord but Ghe was pretty Cnice
Instead I paid my Erent on time Fas often as I Gcould
I've been Fmaking strange friends in the dGesert
Yeah, they love JEesus and America tFoo
It ain't as Fbad as it sounds, someGday I'll explain it to yCou

[Verse 2]
  CIt's not that I mind sEleeping Falone in the graCss
  CIt's just that I've been dEreaming since well, Fmaybe I ain't woke up Gyet
  CBut nothing's Ebeen quite the sFame since you sGhot yourself
  CI don't know if you beElieve in ghosts, I'd Fhope you'd haunt me if you were Gone
I've been tFrying not to steal from everyGbody I know
      EN.C.              F  
But so far that's impossible
But Fhere in the desert someGhow I hope that someday it wonC't
EmBe that way for FmeC  
            N.C.    C                Em        F  C  
No, it won't     beeeee that way for me anymore
