[Verse 1]
G C/G G
Radio waves are coming miles and miles
C/G G
Bringing only empty boats
C/G G
Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
C/G G
Somehow slipped out between the notes
[Chorus]
Em C/G G
Out on the desert and feeling lost
Em C/G G
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Em C/G G
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
D C/G
Sighing just a little bit
D C/G
Sighing just a little bit
[Verse 2]
G C/G G
And I was thinking 'bout what Katy done
C/G G
Thinking 'bout what Katy did
C/G G
The fairest daughter of the Pharoah's son
C/G G
Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids
[Chorus]
Em C/G G
Out on the desert and feeling lost
Em C/G G
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Em C/G G
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
D C/G
Sighing just a little bit
D C/G
Sighing just a little bit
[Bridge]
C/G
Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise
G D
And when you're empty there's so much space for them
C/G
You turn it off but then a still, small voice
G D
Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G C/G G
And I was thinking 'bout my river days
C/G G
And I was thinking 'bout me and Jim
C/G G
Passing Cairo on a getaway
C/G G
With every steamboat like a hymn
[Chorus]
Em C/G G
Out on the desert and feeling lost
Em C/G G
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Em C/G G
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
D C/G
Sighing just a little bit
D C/G G
Sighing just a little bit
