When I Get To Phoenix
Story
Hopefully this tells its own story.
Lyrics
[bmin] I may never see another [f#min] sunrise
But [emin] desert sunsets are the [A] best
[D] I didn't sleep at all last [A] night
[bmin] Can't wait for the morning [E] light
[c#min] At the first rays of the [f#min] rising [g#min] [A] sun
I'll [bmin] burn or I'll take [E] flight
I'll [D] leave a star [bmin] behind me
And [E] I'll be on my [A] way
[D] Today and tomorrow [c#min] fall to ashes
But [bmin] I'll be [E] on my [A] way
[A] When I get to Phoenix I'll be [C#7] happy again
Oh [D] who could be [A] sad with such a [G] bright sunny [A] day
[bmin] Bare skin and [f#min] warm air
[G] She's her most [D] beautiful there
[E] Those were the best days of my [Asus4] life [A]
Well who's to say it's for the best
The way our lives turned out?
Who says I should just sit and sigh
Until my life burns out?
I'll leave a star behind me
And I'll be on my way
Today and tomorrow fall to ashes
But I'll have yesterday
When I get to Phoenix I'll be happy again
Oh who could be sad with such a bright sunny day
Bare skin and warm air
She's her most beautiful there
Those were the best days of my life
Because she's twenty-five and always has been
And I'll be twenty-six again
And it would only take a moment
If it were the right moment
And the right person
I didn't sleep at all last night
Can't wait for the morning light
At the first rays of the rising sun
I'll burn or I'll take flight
I'll leave a star behind me
And I'll be on my way
Today and tomorrow fall to ashes
But I'll be on my way
