[G] [Bm]
This song is called [B] Mesa, Arizona, and it's from this [A#] record that's going to come out
in [B] the fall called Bad Books.
[G] That's the name of the band.
[Bm] It's some stuff that I did with Manchester Orchestra.
[C] [G] This song is called Mesa, Arizona.
It's the second time I'll try to play it.
The first time I forgot the words.
Then the bus came and taught.
Past 800 miles talking circles about living with loss.
You [C] said your sense [G] of humor's always helped you get above and across.
Every hurdle, every chasm, every [C] shocking and [G] unspeakable blow.
Just proves [C] the universe is [G] chaos so you laugh to clear the lump.
But if [E] you're fixed on [C#] being bitter, [G] go be bitter on your [Dm] own.
[A] Still [G] two hours from El Paso, [B] Arizona, such a long way [G] to go.
Chemicals were coursing through our [C#] bloodstreams at [G] incongruous rates.
I was [N] time traveling [C] inwards through a past life [D] I could never [G] ease.
You were hanging out the window, said we're just a beggar's banquet into space.
[D] [E] And you [C] were laughing at the moon, then you were cursing it for wearing your [G] face.
[E] Me and New [C] Mexico were [A] orphans, [G] we're busy bastards either [Dm] way.
[A] I [G] think I know a guy in Roswell, I'll hit your [A] moon [B] ride, steal you back to [G] space.

[D] [E] sleep and whistle, [C#] blackbird backwards, my, my, [G] I cut her name from [Dm] clay.
[A] You wake [G] to Mesa, Arizona, say [A] let it go, she'll change her mind [G] someday.
Took the wheel in Mesa, Arizona, I got [Am] the rest, man, you can drift away.
