A                     C#m      F#m
Holed up in Vegas for only one week
              E                D
And I caught you tongue and cheek by
     C#m         Bm
the side of the road
      A          E/G#
Of an automobile expo
F#m                            A         D
Turned up the volume and you started to weep
                     A
And I thought you a lamb

Chorus:
E                        A         D
Even in the sigh of the headlight sea
      Bm              E7
Your tears were salty ocean
    F#m                       A              D
You opened up the engine and listened to it sing
                    A
And I called you a lamb

You knew your daddy 'til you were thirteen
And then he took his leave for the likes of the land
And the far off salty ocean
We shook our bodies and we started to scream
And I asked you again

Chorus:
Tell me when we grow up, do we ever go home?
You said home becomes the highway

We ordered movies on a motel screen
Until you needed me warm inside of your mouth
And my skin was salty ocean
And then you recommended I'm a woman to keep
And I called you a man
