G5 C D

[Verse]
G5
Las Vegas nights
C
Have been calling
D
But I wait to see her float down stairs

G                         C
There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
D
I look & I know gotta be there

[Verse]
G5
Is there another way
C
To bring her closer
D
Make her see I know we could be happy again

G5
Is there another chance
C
To bring her flowers
D
So she will only whisper my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                     D7
A chance to make things right for her
Am7                   D7
And make my lies seem true

I'm begging Do

[Chorus]
G5    Em    D           C
Don't go down to the sta-tion
D                            G5
Somehow we won't live that long
      Em   D         Am7
Don't go now, desert flower
                     D7
Cause you just won't bloom
         Am7                     D7
And your memories made need more room

[Verse]
G5
See that mirror there
C
Will she look inside
D
To see the one I fear standing alone

G5
And on my phonograph
C
Will she put them in
D
The songs that only remind her of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                     D7
A chance to make things right for her
    Am7               D7
And make my life seem true

I'm begging Do

[Chorus]
G5    Em    D           C
Don't go down to the sta-tion
D                            G5
Somehow we won't live that long
      Em   D         Am7
Don't go now, desert flower
                     D7
Cause you just won't bloom
         Am7                     D7
And your memories made need more room

[Verse]
G5
I step outside The Joint
C
To clouds of guilt and fear
D
And there are shades of red dancing in view

G5
Las Vegas nights
C
Make me wonder
D
How much longer I will be a fool

[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                     D7
A chance to make things right for her
Am7
Make my lies seem true

I'm begging Do

[Chorus]
G5    Em    D          C
Don't go down to the station
       D                      G5
Somehow we won't live that long
      Em    D            C
Don't go know, desert flowers
                      D
Cause they just won't bloom
         C                       D
and your memories they need more room

G5    Em    D          C
Don't go down to the station
       D                      G5
Somehow we won't live that long
      Em    D            C
Don't go know, desert flowers
                      D
Cause they just won't bloom
         C                       D
and your memories they need more room

G5    Em    D          C
Don't go down to the station
       D                      G5
Somehow we won't live that long
      Em    D            C
Don't go know, desert flowers
                      D
Cause they just won't bloom
         C                       D
and your memories they need more room
