Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Hair  blowing in the hot wind,
 Time hanging from a clothespin
 There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna
 heal
 I smell the leather of your new  car
 Drive through the desert after nightfall
 Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars  all to  ourselves
The  kind of love that makes my back hurt
 Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
 She's turning over on a mattress made of air
 I close my eyes I see a staircase
 Leading upwards into blank space
 All of creation makes a sound  too soft  to  hear
So  I remain between  her legs
 Sheltered  from all my fears
 While bikers  glide by highway  shrines
 Where pilgrims disappear
I  know that trouble's been your good friend
 Kept you company on the weekends
 Kept you company even once your mind was made
 Said it's over and it's finished
 Now a headache is all you're left with
 We're no different I got debts  I'd like  to pay
We  should move to Sausalito
 Living's easy on a house boat
 Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
 In the morning with the sunrise
 Look in the water see the blue sky
 As if heaven has been laid  there at  our feet
So  we remain between  these waves
 Sheltered  for all our years
 While bikers  glide by highway  shrines
 Where pilgrims disappear
 Where time  takes icebergs
 Where fields  burn westward
 Where pilgrims disappear

[A]Hair blowing in the hot wind,

Time hanging from a clothespin

There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna
heal[E]
I smell the leather of your [A]new car

Drive through the desert after nightfall
Sleep on the shoulder, keep the [G]stars all [C]to ourselves[A]

[A]The kind of love that makes my back hurt

Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
She's turning over on a mattress made of air[E]
I close my eyes I see a [A]staircase

Leading upwards into blank space
All of creation makes a [G]sound too [C]soft t[A]o hear

[E]So I remain be[G]tween her legs
Shel[A]tered from all my fears[E]
While [G]bikers glide by [A]highway shrines
Where [C]pilgrims [Cmaj9]disappear[A]

[A]I know that trouble's been your good friend

Kept you company on the weekends
Kept you company even once your mind was made[E]
Said it's over and it's [A]finished

Now a headache is all you're left with
We're no different I got [G]debts I'd [C]like to pay[A]

[A]We should move to Sausalito

Living's easy on a house boat
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep [E]
In the morning with the [A]sunrise

Look in the water see the blue sky
As if heaven has been [G]laid there [C]at our feet[A]

[E]So we remain b[G]etween these waves
Shel[A]tered for all our years[E]
While [G]bikers glide by [A]highway shrines
Where [C]pilgrims [Cmaj9]disappear[A]
Where [C]time takes [Cmaj9]icebergs
Where [C]fields burn [Cmaj9]westward
Where [C]pilgrims [Cmaj9]disappear [A]
