  Meanwhile out where nothing starts
Bb                         Eb/BB
  Out where the railyard ends
Eb/Bb                       Fm/C
  Sun up above us was trying to kill himself
         Bb                     Eb/Bb
  We were watching the skies again

Ab                              Eb/Bb
  Why do we come down to Brownsville
Bb                         Eb/Bb
  Year after year after year
Eb/Bb                          Fm/C
  This was the question we never even posed
Bb                             Eb/Bb
  Ringing like a siren in our ears

Eb/Bb                     Fm/C
  Down on the Mexican border
Bb                       Eb/Bb
  In the unfathomable heat
Eb/Bb                      Fm/C
  With our shirts tied around our waists
Bb                     Eb/Bb
  And the world at our feet

Ab                            Eb/Bb
  We looked at one another's bodies
Bb                       Eb/Bb
  Figured we looked alright
Eb/Bb                  Fm/C
  Ready to die if we had to
Bb                       Eb/Bb
  Watching the skies all night
  And I was
Ab                    Eb/Bb
  Sure my heart would break
              Bb                   Eb/Bb
  When the sun sank down into California
                                              Fm/C
  I felt your breath on my neck, it was hot and good and pure
Bb                  Eb/Bb
  And I wanted to warn you

Eb/Bb                      Ab
  It's all coming apart again
Eb/Bb                      Bb
  It's all coming apart again
Eb/Bb                      Ab
  It's all coming apart again
           Bb                     
  It's all coming apart again
