And soDmme nights they just don't open at all
And you Emwait on the edge of the Dmrise
She Cgave me blue kisses on the mesa top
And Dmwe were stoned and buried in the rocks
And Emall those empty Dmmiles
Just CrollDm,    Emroll Dmaway
They CrollDm,    Emroll Dmaway

She Cintroduced me to a Peruvian queen
DmSaid the best feel of all is not feeling a thing
And she Empointed to a line in the Dmstars
We Csat at a piano with only white keys
It Dmwent on forever and never did lead
To Emnowhere and on into the Dmdark
Where you CrollDm,    Emroll Dmaway
Where you CrollDm,    Emroll Dmaway

[Verse 1]

Well, the pink parachutes, they come on slow

And some nights they just don't open at all

Em Dm

And you wait on the edge of the rise

She gave me blue kisses on the mesa top

And we were stoned and buried in the rocks

Em Dm

And all those empty miles

C Dm Em Dm

Just roll, roll away

C Dm Em Dm

They roll, roll away

[Verse 2]

She introduced me to a Peruvian queen

Said the best feel of all is not feeling a thing

Em Dm

And she pointed to a line in the stars

We sat at a piano with only white keys

It went on forever and never did lead

Em Dm

To nowhere and on into the dark

C Dm Em Dm

Where you roll, roll away

C Dm Em Dm

Where you roll, roll away

[Instrumental]

C Dm Em Dm

[Outro]

F Em

And oh, it's been a long time coming home

With that red moon sinking low

I say so long

F Em

You know, before that morning comes

Just shine that crooked sun

I'll be gone

[Instrumental]
