[Verse 1]
F#
From the heart-wrenched sweet nothings
F#
Between two distant lovers
F# B Bmaj9
To the dying of the cruelty of war
B Bmaj9
Oh, the sad news and the love songs
F#
Are passed along these phone poles
C#
That stretch forever
C#7 F#
Like the lines of a Hemingway story
C#
And they stretch along this highway
C#
Like so many martyrs
B Bmaj9
Hung and burned for loving
B Bmaj9
Shedding light on Caesar’s gardens
F# C# C#6sus4 G G6sus4
And they’re passing on a message sent from you
F#
To us here in New Mexico
[Instrumental 1]

[Verse 2]
F#
Well the old man at the red light
F#
Was selling homeless papers
F# B Bmaj9
And our windows locked the awkward silence in
B Bmaj9
We kept our eyes ahead
F#
And then we quickly changed the subject
C# C#7
And our hearts broke even more
F#
With our own hardness
C#
Because Mark had asked
C#
If we should invite him along for dinner
B
And we hemmed and hawed
Bmaj9 B Bmaj9
‘Til green faded into our Scarlet Letter
F# C# C#6sus4 G G6sus4
And I know no martyrs died to pass that on
F#
To us here in New Mexico
[Instrumental 2]

[Verse 3]
F#
Well the night is raining from the clouds
F#
That hang above this city
F# B Bmaj9
And all I want is just to be alone
B Bmaj9
Unless that girl I’m praying for
F#
Is here in Albuquerque
C# C#7
Unless you came to raise
F#
The quick and dead
C#
Then we’ll step out of this river
C#
Of the Father, Ghost, and Son
B Bmaj9
Where we’ve waded in your innocence
B Bmaj9
Cause all of ours was gone
F#
And we’ll lift our eyes to see
C# C#6sus4 G G6sus4
D# new light dawn
F#
On the beauty of New Mexico
