[Intro: ]: G(addA) Bm/F# G(add A) Bm/F#
G D/F# C Bm/D
Grab my knee and look at me
G D/F# C Bm/D G D/F#
And try to tell me I?ll be home soon
C Bm/D G D/F# C Bm/D
Asleep in my bed and un--stoned
B7 Am7 Em7
I?m tired of me this way
Em7
I don?t know what I?ve gotten into
But I?m glad it?s now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
Em G Em C Em G Em C
With a wish I had for win--ter
Em G D C
It?s not as gentle as it sounds
Em G D C
As though it sounded yes-ter--day
Em G D C Em G
When I heard a leaf of my life hit the ground
D C B7 Am7 Em7
And as a bottle cap flew from my finger
I don?t know what I?ve gotten in to
But I?m glad it?s now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
Em G Em C Em G
With a wish I had for win--ter
Then: C D Am7 C G
Am7 C G Am7 C G Am7 C G
..And the sands blew in my eyes
Am7 C C Am7 C G
And I stood on the edge and looked down to see
Am7 C G Am7 C G
The light of a new life, shining up on me
C G D Em7
Whoa, whoa, oh
chorus(I don't what I've gotten into...)
Em G Em C Em G
..With a wish that I had
Em C Em G Em C Em G Em C Em G Em C
with a wish I Had
Em G Em C
The sand blew in my eyes
