Pray for Tucson Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On [Gsus4]a sun[G]
[Em]set I-10 mile lies
a body [B]beneath a sheet
The orange [C]sky don't seem to mind but I'm
on [G]the edge of my [D]seat
There's ten [Em]thousand auto lights dead
stopped in dirty [B]Tucson heat
We crane our [C]necks to get a glimpse,
and ride on by [G]while I nurse defeat
[D]Nurse defeat
[Em]

[Verse 2]
It's that same old sinking feeling,
that blows on in [B]from time to time
The only con[C]solation comes
tying [G]despair to a [D]rhyme
And knowing [Em]some are at home working,
raising kids and say[B]ing prayers
[C]Unaware of modern science,
they may be [G]wrong but I don't care
[D]They pray for Tuc

[Verse 3]
[G]son, they pray [D]for me
They pray these [Em]roads lead home
and won't take us too [C]far
Take us too far
[Em]

[Verse 4]
Well we get these years to play with
and I've been game [B]to roll the dice
But lately star[C]ing in the mirror has
[G]been showing me [D]the price
Of all the [Em]reckless toxic gambling having
my fate hang [B]from a string
The lonesome [C]nights with pills and powders,
the fuel I pre[G]tend helps me sing
[D]So pray for Tuc

[Verse 5]
[G]son, pray [D]for me
Pray these road[Em]s lead home
and won't take us [C]too far
Pray for Tuc[G]son, pray [D]for me
I hope your faith [Em]is what will c[D]arry me
If there's [C]something past those stars

[Verse 6]
Cause [Gsus4]the spell [G]breaks [Am]every time
I see [Bm]those funeral [C]cars
[Gsus4]Or when they throw the floodlights[G]
[Am]on and I'm left st[G]randed at the ba[Gsus4]r
I spend so [G]many [Am]nights tempting [Bm]fate
with this guitar [C]but I'm coming home
[D]

[Verse 7]
So pray for Tuc[G]son, pray for [D]me
Pray these road[Em]s lead home
and won't take us too [C]far
Pray for Tuc[G]son, pray for [D]me
Pray these road[Em]s lead home
and won't [D]take us too [C]far
Pray for Tuc[G]son, [D]pray for[Em] me[C]
Pray for Tuc[G]son,[D]
I hope your [Em]faith is what will [D]carry me
If there's [C]something past those stars

[Outro 1]
Pray for me
[G][Gsus4][G]
