[Am][C][Am][C]
[Am][C][D][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hear the trucks on the highway,
And the tickin' of the clocks
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon,
Bullet holes in the mailbox
[D]Bullet holes in the mailbox,
Keyholes in my [Am]mind
[F]Too long in the wasteland
[E]Too long in the wasteland
I've [Am]fallin' behind

[Verse 2]
[Am]She said won't you come see me,
When the sun goes down
It'll be just like the old days,
When I used to let you hang around
[D]Well I don't know,
I might not speak the language [G]any [Am]more
[F]Too long in the wasteland
[Em]Too long in the wasteland
[Am]I've closed some doors

[Verse 3]
[Am]
People in the village,
Watch the children play
At the sight of a stranger,
They call the kids away
[D]Just leave that man alone,
I [C]hear the moth[Am]ers say
[F]Too long in the wasteland
[E]Too long in the wasteland
What's [Am]made him that way

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I hadn't intended, To bend the rules
Whiskey don't make liars,
It just makes fools
So [D]I didn't mean to say it,
But I meant what [Am]I said
[F]Too long in the wasteland
[E]Too long in the wasteland
[Em]Must have [Am]gone to my head

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D]
[Am][C][Am]
[F][Em][Am]

[Verse 5]
Jet trails in the [Am]sunset,
a long way away
cuttin' cross the horizon,
At the edge of the day
[D]And it calls out to me,
[C]Com[D]e fly away, [Am]I've been
[F]Too long in the wasteland
[E]Too long in the wasteland
[Em]I believ[Am]e I'll have to stay

[Verse 6]
[F]Too long in the wasteland
[E]Too long in the wasteland
[Em]I'll[Am] have to stay

[Interlude 2]

[Am]

[Verse 7]
There's a ghost of [Am]a moon
in the afternoon
Bullet holes in the mailbox
Bullet [Am]holes in the mailbox
