To wanna go back home again

I left my universe standing there
(C) F G
Holding the hand of my best friend

And it’s laughter that I feel when I think of you

It’s one more dusty rose about to turn
(F) Dm G
I’ll see you when I reach New Mexico

If I’m in the mood to crash and burn

I rehearsed a dialogue in my head

Cause I’ve gotten use to the crash and burn

I say I’ve gotten use to the crash and burn
