 The song follows an ----  progression all the way through,
 you may want to change the strumming patterns in different parts though.
So  I walked into the haze
And  a million dirty waves
Now  I see you lying there
Like  a lilo losing air air
 Black rocks and shoreline sand
 Still that summer I cannot bear
 And I wipe the sand from my arms
 The Spanish Sahara
 The place that you’d wanna
 Leave the horror here
 Forget the horror here
 Forget the horror here
 Leave it all down here
 It's future rust and then it's future dust
 Now the waves they drag you down
 Carry you to broken ground
 Though I find you in the sand
 Wipe you clean with dirty hands
 So god damn this boiling space
 It's the Spanish Sahara
 The place that you'd wanna
 Leave the horror here
 Forget the horror here
 forget the horror here
 Leave it all down here
 It's future rust and then it's future dust
 I'm the fury in your head
 I'm the fury in your bed
 I'm the ghost in the back of your head
