Intro:    C      Am       F       C

C        Am                 F
All alone in a Mexican joint
            C
In Mesa, Arizona
                     Am
With a mariachi band
               F
On the jukebox
               C
And an empty Corona
                     Am
And the sun gone down
                     F
In the pale thin pink
                         Dm
There�s no one to talk to

All I can think
        C 
Is your eyes are full of train smoke
         Am
And your mouth tastes like rain
      F
And I know when I know nothing
       Dm
I will always know your name
          C            C/B 
You�re my one and only one
               F        C
You�re my only one 

Out here working
In the neon lights
Where the temperature is falling
It�s hotel coffee
Red-eye flights and Honey
I�m your midnight ringer calling
And the snow comes down
From this desert sky
And I tell everybody something
But it�s usually good-bye
But not you you�re my one
You�re my only one 

     C
Only one I want to talk to
     Am
Only one I know to call
     F
Only one who�s going to catch me
        Dm 
When my pride leads to a fall
           Bb
You�re the sky all full of starlings
       F                       C
And an ax blade shining in the sun
           Bb
You�re the angel touched a coal
           F
Against my lips
               C
You�re my only one 

Reel to reel
The country rolls
And the towns slide by
Like ghost repeaters
Of faded billboards & big-box stores
Like a movie of an empty theater
You look around and wonder
When the seams are going to fail
And how dear the cost of living
Where everything�s for sale
Except you you�re my one
You�re my only one 

And I�m all alone
In a Mexican joint
In Mesa, Arizona
