I want to

I want to

Where the

I'll show you a
[Bm] place
High on a
[A] desert plain
Where the
[C] streets have no name Oh Ah
Where the streets have no

We're still building
[G] Then burning down love, burning down love
[Bm] And when I go there
[A] I go there with you...
[D] it's all I can do
[D] Our love turns to rust
[D] We're beaten and
[G] blown by the wind,

It's all I can
