[Verse 1]
    D5     C#5
I'm selfish
  B5               A5             
I always made your problems ’bout 
G5  F#5  Em  A
me
        D5      C#5
I can't help it
  B5           A5             G5  
I wish I had a little empathy     
F#5       Em  A
    for ya.
         D5
But that night that you told me
     C#5
That I don't work hard enough
B5        A5
Told me I cracked too much ripped me
 to pieces
         G5     F#5  Em  A
And then called it   love.
       D5                 C#5
Oh and I never handled it quite like
 I wanted to
B5                  A5
What was I supposed to do?
G5           F#5              Em   A
Knowing that both of us had enough.


[Chorus]
                      D5
But when you think of me
  C#5                      B5
I hope you think of Joshua Tree
     A5                G5         
That summer, where the road went 
     F#5
on forever
Em              A
No one in sight for us
                  D5
When you think of me
  C#5                   B5        
I hope you think of the letters 
     A5
that I sent ya
             G5                 
From across town, just ’cause I 
F#5
missed ya
         Em               A
When the worst was yet to come
               D5  C#5  B5  A5  
And you know I do,             
               G5   F#5   Em   A
when I think of you

                D5  C#5  B5  A5 
Yeah you know I do,            
               G5   F#5   Em   A
when I think of you.


[Verse 2]
       D5      C#5
You're careless
B5            A5                
Always saying things you didn't 
G5  F#5  Em  A
mean
            D5     C#5
Took me for granted
B5              A5             G5
Expecting me to find the 
  F#5  Em  A
in-between
         D5                        
But that night that I told you that
 D5
 I wouldn't marry you
B5                          A5
Swear I could feel from the floor to
 the ceiling
     G5    F#5    Em  A
Your walls came   up.
          D5                     
So then I pulled you closer, and you
C#5
 pushed me further
    B5
And nothing would matter
   A5
We kept getting sadder
    G5     F#5  Em  A
And called it   love.


[Chorus]
                      D5
But when you think of me
  C#5                      B5
I hope you think of Joshua Tree
     A5                G5         
That summer, where the road went 
     F#5
on forever
Em              A
No one in sight for us
                  D5
When you think of me
  C#5                   B5        
I hope you think of the letters 
     A5
that I sent ya
             G5                 
From across town, just ’cause I 
F#5
missed ya
         Em               A
When the worst was yet to come
               D5  C#5  B5  A5  
And you know I do,             
               G5   F#5   Em   A
when I think of you
                D5  C#5  B5  A5 
Yeah you know I do,            
               G5   F#5   Em   A
when I think of you.


[Bridge]
           D5        C#5       
I think of New Year's     in San 
      B5   A5
Francisco
            G5              F#5
Drunk on my roof looking at you
              Em        A
Wrapped up in your coat
            D5      C#5
So tell me, my dear
            B5        A
What do you think of?
            G5            F#5     
Don't you remember why we fell in 
    Em   A
love?


[Chorus]
                          D5
Oh, and when you think of me
                      D5
But when you think of me
  C#5                      B5
I hope you think of Joshua Tree
     A5                G5         
That summer, where the road went 
     F#5
on forever
Em              A
No one in sight for us
                  D5
When you think of me
  C#5                   B5        
I hope you think of the letters 
     A5
that I sent ya
             G5                 
From across town, just ’cause I 
F#5
missed ya
         Em               A
When the worst was yet to come
               D5  C#5  B5  A5  
Cos you know I do,             
               G5   F#5     Em   A
when I think of you,    oh baby
                D5  C#5  B5  A5 
Yeah you know I do,            
               G5   F#5
when I think of you
            Em   A                
I think of you,     I think of 
      D5 C#5
you, baby
        B5                 A5   
Are you thinking ’bout me, baby?
G5   F#5

        Em               A        C5
I ain’t thinking 'bout ya, hmmm...
