Intro: (C)(Am)(F)(C)
(C)All alone (Am)in a Mexican joint
(F)In Mesa, Ari(C)zona
Mariachi band
(Am)On the jukebox
(F)And an empty Cor(C)ona
And the sun gone down
(Am)In the pale thin pink
There’s (F)no one to talk to
(Dm)All I can think
Is your (C)eyes are full of train smoke
And your (Am)mouth tastes like rain
And I (F)know when I know nothing
I will (Dm)always know your name
You’re my (C)one and only (Am)one
You’re my only (F)one
(C)Out here working
(Am)In the neon lights
(F)Where the temperature is (C)falling
It’s hotel coffee
(Am)Red-eye flights and (F)Honey
I’m your midnight ringer (C)calling
And the snow comes down
(Am)From this desert sky
And I tell (F)everybody something
But it’s (Dm)usually good-bye
But not (C)you, you’re my (Am)one
You’re my only (F)one
You're the (C)one I want to talk to
You're the (Am)one I know to call
You're the (F)one who’s going to catch me
When my (Dm)pride leads to a fall
You’re the (Bb)sky all full of starlings
And an (F)ax blade shining in the (C)sun
You’re the (Bb)angel touched a coal
Against my (F)lips
You’re my only (C)one
(C)(Am)(F)(C) . . . (C)(Am)(F)(C)
(C)Reel to reel
(Am)The country rolls
And the (F)towns slide by
Like ghost (C)repeaters
Of faded billboards (Am)and big-box stores
(F)Like a movie of an empty (C)theater
You look around and wonder
When the (Am)seams are going to fail
And how (F)dear the cost of living
Where (Dm)everything’s for sale
Except (C)you you’re my (Am)one
You’re my only (F)one
You're my (C)one and only (Am)one
You’re my only (F)one
(C)And I’m all alone
(Am)In a Mexican joint
(F)In Mesa, Ari(C)zona (Am)(F)(C) . . . (C)(Am)(F)(C) . . . repeat/fade . . .
