         F#m         D  
Oh, the heat is so great
           A            C#m
It plays tricks with the eye
             F#m        D
It turns the road into water
            A      C#m
Then from water to sky
               F#m                    D
And there's a crack in the concrete floor
       A    C#m
That starts at the sink
           F#m                D 
There's a bathroom in a gas station
              A         C#m
And I have locked myself in it to think

F#m          D  
Back in the city
          A       C#m
The sun bakes the trash on the curb
             F#m          D
The men are pissing in doorways
      A       C#m
The rats are running in herds
    F#m   D  
And I've got a dream with your face in it
  A C#m
That scares me awake
      F#m              D  
I put too much on my table
               A            E
now I’ve got too much at stake

F#m  D  A  C#m
F#m  D  A  C#m

       F#m  D  
And I might let you off easy
     A      C#m
Yeah I might lead you on
 F#m        D  
I might wait for you to look for me
        A C#m
Then I might be gone
                F#m                     D
There’s where I come from and where I'm going
          A    C#m
And I am lost in between
 F#m                   D        
I might go up to that phone booth
        A  C#m
And leave a veiled invitation on your machine

F#m  D  A   C#m
F#m  D  A   C#m

           F#m      A
And you'll stop me, won't you
            D     E
If you've heard this one before
    F#m            A
The one where I surprise you
    D                E
By showing up at your front door
         F#m   A           D
Saying "let's not ask what's next
    D    E
Or how, or why"
F#m  A
I am leaving in the morning
      DE
So let's not be shy
E -- E -- E -- E

F#m  A   D   E
Be shy
F#m A D  E
Shy

          F#m              D
The door opens, the room winces
          A                 E
The housekeeper comes in without a warning
       F#m                     D
And I squint at the muscular motel light
          A         E
And say, hey, good morning
        F#m               D
As she jumps, her keys jingle
       A                  E
She leaves as quickly as she came in
           F#m                  D              A    E
And I roll over and taste the pillow with my grin
      F#m        D
The sheets are twisted and damp
          A          E 
Well the heat is so great
       F#m                   D
And I swear I can feel the mattress
           A              E
Sinking underneath your weight
     F#m             D
Oh sleep is like a fever
          A           E
And I'm glad when it ends
      F#m               D
Oh,  road flows like a river
         A           E
And it pulls me 'round every bend
F#m        A 
Stop me, won't you
           D                E
If you've heard this one before
   F#m            A
The one where I surprise you

F#m  D  A  E
Be shy,
F#m  D  A  E
Oh shy

        F#m           D
Ah, the heat is so great
          A              E
It plays tricks with the eye
              F#m        D
It turns the road into water
