E
One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together
In the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
   B
Of New Mexico
B7  C#m7  B7/D#
On  the   last leg of the journey 
                     C#m
They started a long time ago
                    Bmaj7
The arc of a love affair
                A
Rainbows in the high desert air 
E                                A
Mountain passes slipping into stones 
             C#m
Hearts and bones 
               A
Hearts and bones 
               E
Hearts and bones

E
Thinking back to the season before 
 
Looking back through the cracks in the door
 
Two people were married
 
The act was outrageous
 
The bride was contagious
     B
She burned like a bride 
B7     C#m     B7
These events may have had some effect 
                    C#m
On the man with the girl by his side
F#7                   Bmaj7
   The arc of a love affair
A
His hands rolling down her hair 
E                                    A
Love like lightning shaking till it moans 
               C#m
Hearts and bones 
              A
Hearts and bones 
              E
Hearts and bones
N.C.
And whoa whoa whoa
She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
                          A
We'll wake up down in Mexico 
   N.C.
Oh I
 
I don't know nothin' about nothin' about
      A
No Mexico 
             N.C.
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
         A
Where I am 
He said:
Amaj7
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby 
E
This is how I love you, baby 
A
This is how I love you, baby 
 
E
 
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural coasts
To resume old acquaintances
Step out occasionally
                                        B
And speculate who had been damaged the most 
B7    C#m
Easy time will determine if these consolations 
 
Will be their reward
F#m7                   Bmaj7
   The arc of a love affair 
                     A
Waiting to be restored 
E                                             A
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one 
                          C#m
Their hearts and their bones 
                        A
And they won't come undone
E
               A
Hearts and bones 
               C#m
Hearts and bones 
               A
Hearts and bones
               E
