Somewhere In New Mexico

         C                     Em
I have a friend, swear she saw Jesus
           Am             F
Hovering above her lonely bed
            C                   G
She said it changed her life forever
F          G        C
"Whatever works" I said

I sit with her changing channels
It's so hard to concentrate
I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure
She's having a better day

          F          C     
So I will lay on the highway 
               F       C
somewhere in New Mexico
    F          Em      Am       
And wait for a strange light to 
F        G       Am
come and take me home
Continues after the ad
          F            C          
Or I will stand by the statue and 
F               C
wait for her to cry
F                      Em       
To see real tears that seem 
Am  F      G       C
sincere once before I die

The other night I talked to an old 
flame
Who finally said why he moved on
He said I didn't have faith in 
anything
I knew he wasn't wrong

I saw two lovers in the park
With that dreamy look of lust in 
their eyes
The whole world smiled as they 
passed by
They just make me mad

So I will lay on the highway 
somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come
 and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and 
wait for her to cry
Take this jaded heart, blow it all 
apart, once before I die

Em                  F      G    
I'll get down on my knees, 
                Am
something I don't believe
Em               F        
Somebody help me please, I'm 
   G
starting to repeat myself
    G
I'm starting to repeat myself

So I will lay on the highway 
somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light to come
 and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue and 
wait for her to cry
I'd love to see a miracle once 
before I die
Once before I die
