[B] [E]
[A]
[B] Well, [E] I've been thinking about you [C#m] and I wish you the best, but [B] every night I go to sleep.
[A] I miss you a little less and still somehow I love you more with each new [B] day.
[B]
So I [E] thought I'd write you.
Yeah, I [C#m] thought I'd send my new address.
[B] I've been staring at your picture [C#m] sitting here on my desk because I [A] thought you might
be wondering if [E] I'm OK.
Well, I'm [C#m] alive and [E] I'm living in a place where the world's crust has [E] shifted and [C#m] the
stars in the Milky Way, they're [A] giving a party for [B] New Mexico.
[F#]
[C#m] Yes, I've come to the [E] desert just to [A] find my way [E] to forever.
[E] And [A] you are so welcome here [B] if you're ever in [B] New [E] Mexico.
[A] So I want to thank the one who [G#m] leads us for [C#m] the way that he has led [B] for the times we spent
together and [A] for the times we ain't seen yet.
[E] And still somehow this [A] is a path we must both walk [B] alone [B] and [E] we can't measure the distance,
[C#m] but we'll treasure every step.
[B] And I know his love will [F#] give us [G#m] the strength we need to pray [A] his song.
So let's hold on [B] to him and he will show us our [E] way home.
And I'm [C#m]

[C#m] Yes, I've come to [E] the desert just to [A] find my way to [E]
forever.
And you [A] are so welcome here [E] if you're ever in New Mexico.
Because
[A] the [E] stars can be so bright, the [C#m] air so thin.
[E]
[A] And as I'm looking out [B] tonight, I think about you, [E] looking for him.
