Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks
                                                                       G       
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox
                                                 D                             
Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind 
Bb                         A                                            
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
     D                                                                         
I've fallin' behind

She said won't you come see me, When the sun goes down
                                                                    G          
It'll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around 
                                                           D                   
Well I don't know, I might not speak the language any more 
Bb                         A                                                     
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
     D                                                                         
I've closed some doors

People in the village, Watch the children play
                                                    G                          
At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away 
                                                  D                            
Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say 
Bb                         A                                                     
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
       D                                                                       
What's made him that way

I hadn't intended, To bend the rules
                                            G                                  
Wiskey dont make liers, It just makes fools 
                                                    D                          
So I didn't mean to say it, But I meant what I said 
Bb                         A                                                    
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
          D                                                                    
Must have gone to my head

Jet trails in the sunset, a long way away
                                                  G                            
cuttin' cross the horizon, At the edge of the day 
                                                 D                             
And it calls out to me, Come fly away, I've been 
Bb                         A                                                     
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland

I believe I'll have to stay                                                                              
Bb                         A
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland

I'll have to stay

Bullet holes in the mailbox
