C C D# D#
Follow me into the desert
A# A# C C
As thirsty as you are
C C D# D#
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
A# A# C C
And drown in alcohol
C C D# D#
'Cause down below the truth is lying
A# A# C C
Beneath the riverbed
C C D# D#
So quench yourself and drink the water
A# A# C C
That flows below her head

D# D# C C D# D# C C
Oh no there she goes
D# D# C C D# D#
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine, the sun is mine

C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I shot my love today would you cry for me
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I lost my head again would you lie for me
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I lost my head again would you cry for me

C C D# D#
Close your eyes and bow your head
A# A# C C
I need a little sympathy
C C D# D# A# A#
'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
C C
Who isn't me
C C D# D#
So kill your health and kill yourself
A# A# C C
And kill everything you love
C C D# D#
And if you live you can fall to pieces
A# A# C C
And suffer with my ghost

D# D# C C D# D# C C
Oh no there she goes
D# D# C C D# D#
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine, the sun is mine

C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I shot my love today would you cry for me
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I lost my head again would you lie for me
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I lost my head again would you cry for me

C C D# D#
Just a burden in my hand
C C G# G#
Just an anchor on my heart
C C G# G#
Just a tumor in my head
A# A# F# F# F F
And I'm in the dark

C C D# D#
So follow me into the desert
A# A# C C
As desperate as you are
C C D# D#
Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
A# A# C C
And all the little pigs have God

D# D# C C D# D# C C
Oh no there she goes
D# D# C C D# D#
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine, the sun is mine

C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I shot my love today would you cry for me
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I lost my head again would you lie for me
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C C A# A# G# G# D# D# A# A# F# F# F F
I lost my head again would you cry for me

The A# chord sounds weird in the verses, but ok in chorus. Pretty good for a first draft though! Can't wait to see it when it's straightened out.
