Bb                   C
Meanwhile, out where nothing starts
Eb                      Bb
Out where the rail yard ends
Bb                 C
sun up above us is trying to kill itself
       Eb                   Bb
We were watching the skies again

[Verse 2]
Eb                     Bb
Why do we come down to Brownsville
F                     Bb
Year after year after year?
Bb                       C
This was the question we never even posed
Eb                          Bb
Ringing like a siren in our ears

[Verse 3]
Bb                  C
Down on the Mexican border
Eb                  Bb
In the unfathomable heat
Bb                   C
With our shirts tied around our waists
Eb                   Bb
And the world at our feet

[Verse 4]
Eb                         Bb
We looked at one another's bodies
F                     Bb
Figured we looked all right
Bb                 C
Ready to die if we had to
Eb                     Bb
Watching the skies all night

[Verse 5]
Eb                            Bb
And I was sure my heart would break
F                               Bb
When the sun sank down into California
B                                     C
I felt your breath on my neck, it was hot and good and pure
Eb              Bb
And I wanted to warn you

[Outro]
Bb                     Eb
It's all coming apart again
Bb                     F
It's all coming apart again
Bb                     Eb
It's all coming apart again
Bb                     F
It's all coming apart again
