[Intro]
A5  C#5 D5 A5


[Verse 1]
F#5                          C#5
On a sunset I-10 mile lies a body beneath a sheet
D5                                                           E5
The orange sky don’t seem to mind but I’m on the edge of my seat
F#5                                                  C#5
There’s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirty Tucson heat
D5                                                       A5  E5   F#5
We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeat

Nurse defeat

F#5                                                        C#5
It’s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from time to time
D5                                          E5
The only consolation comes tying despair to a rhyme
F#5                                   C#5
And knowing some are at home working, raising kids and saying prayers
D5                          A5          E5
Unaware of modern science, they may be wrong but I don’t care


[Chorus]
A5                  E5
They pray for Tucson, they pray for me
F#5                                        D5
They pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far

Take us too far
F#5  E5  F#5


[Verse 2]
F#5                                      C#5
Well we get these years to play with and I’ve been game to roll the dice
D5                                                  A5  E5
But lately staring in the mirror has been showing me the price
F#5                               C#5
Of all the reckless toxic gambling; having my fate hang from a string
D5                                                        A5   E5
The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pretend helps me sing


[Chorus]
A5                   E5
So pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5                            D5
Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far
A5               E5
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5                       E5
I hope your faith is what will carry me
D5
If there's something past those stars


[Bridge]
A5                     B5            C#5        D5
Cause the spell breaks every time I see those funeral cars
A5                     B5            C#5        D5
Or when they throw the floodlights on and I’m left stranded at the bar
A5                     B5            C#5        D5
I spend so many nights tempting fate with this guitar but I’m coming home


[Chorus]
A5                  E5
So pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5                        D5
Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far
A5               E5
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5                        D5
Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far
A5               E5
Pray for Tucson, pray for me
F#5               D5
Pray for Tucson,
