[Intro]
 A   D(x4)
[Verse]
AI spring awake and the flames lick at my heels  D  A  
AI fall and freeze in sentiments I’ve grappled with for yeDars, like
F#mHow I’ll give up eEverything for wDhat I love to Ado 
And F#mhow it all means nEothing if it wDasn’t all for Ayou, old fEriend 
I slam my F#mfucking head inDto the wall agAain 
[Chorus]
DBefore you Ago, promise yDou’ll commit my bAones 
To the sDalty sand and sAtone on the GEulf of Mexico A  
A/G#And wF#mhen the tide riDses to bAaptize the sEhore 
Let the wDind take me hAome via EAlbuquerque lAow. 
[Interlude]
 A   D(x4)
[Verse]
AWe sat and smoked on a speeding midnight train D  A  
AI arrived and mourned the fact that she would come and go again D  A  
F#mHung up on the cEities that we bDoth wanted to lAeave 
F#mSpeaking slow and soEmber like we liDked the taste of aAir between our tEeeth 
We watched the F#msun come up and fDaced reality A  
[Chorus]
DBefore you Ago, promise yDou’ll commit my bAones 
To the sDalty sand and sAtone on the GEulf of Mexico A  
A/G#And wF#mhen the tide riDses to bAaptize the sEhore 
Let the wDind take me hAome via EAlbuquerque lAow. 
[Bridge]
  A     Bm      F#m    DCrack your windows 
A..Bm...F#m....D...on sleepless summer nAigBmhts F#m  D  
You will hear me A  Bm  F#m  D  
on the passing ocean breezeBm, as it softly carries me 
[Chorus]
DBefore you Ago, promise yDou’ll commit my bAones 
To the sDalty sand and sAtone on the GEulf of Mexico A  
A/G#And wF#mhen the tide riDses to bAaptize the sEhore

[Verse]

A D A

I spring awake and the flames lick at my heels

A D

I fall and freeze in sentiments I’ve grappled with for years, like

F#m E D A

How I’ll give up everything for what I love to do

F#m E D A E

And how it all means nothing if it wasn’t all for you, old friend

F#m D A

I slam my fucking head into the wall again

[Chorus]

D A D A

Before you go, promise you’ll commit my bones

D A E A

To the salty sand and stone on the Gulf of Mexico

And when the tide rises to baptize the shore

Let the wind take me home via Albuquerque low.

We sat and smoked on a speeding midnight train

A D A

I arrived and mourned the fact that she would come and go again

Hung up on the cities that we both wanted to leave

Speaking slow and somber like we liked the taste of air between our teeth

We watched the sun come up and faced reality

Before you go, promise you’ll commit my bones
