Capo 5
Verse chord progression:      
Chorus chord progression:        

Verse 1:


Hair blowin in the hot wind

Time hanging from a clothes pin
                                        
Theres no sorrow the suns not gonna help
                           
Smell the leather of your new car

Drive through the desert after nightfall
                                                   
Sleep on the shoulder keep the stars all to ourselves

Verse 2:


The kinda love that makes my back hurt

Wearing nothing but a T-shirt 
                                           
Shes 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 to soft to hear

CHORUS:

                              
So I remain between her legs
                          
sheltered from all my fears
                                      
While bikers glide by highway shrines 
                       
Where pilgrims dissapear

Verse 3:

I know that troubles been your good friend

It kept you company on the weekends
                                                
It kept you company even once your mind was made
                            
But now its over and its finished

Yea a headaches all your left with
                                        
We're no differant I got debts I like to pay

Verse 4:
                          
Well we should move to Saucalito

Livings easy on a house boat
                                             
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
                                
Wake in the morning with the sunrise 

Look in the water see the blue sky
                                       
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet

Chorus 2:
              
So we remain between these waves 
                          
Sheltered for all our years
                     
While bikers glide by highway shrines
                          
Where pilgrims dissapear

OUT:
                  
Where time takes icebergs
                                          
Where fields burn westward 
                           
Where pilgrims disapear
