 From a phone booth in
Am           C               G
Vegas Jessie calls at five a.m.
To tell me that she's
  Am     C            G
tired     of all of them
She says 'Baby I've been
  Am             C                G
thinking about a trailer by the sea
             Am      C                 D
We can go to Mexico: you, the cat, and me
           Em     D              C
We drink tequila    and look for seashells
    Em      D          C
Now doesn't that sound sweet?
Em          D      C
Jessie, you always do this
Every time I get back on my
  D   C  D  C  D
feet

[chorus]
G                  C
Jessie, paint your pictures,
      G              C
about how it's gonna be
   G                   C
By now I should know better,
  D                       Em  D/F#
your dreams are never free
    G            C
But tell me all about our little
G              C
trailer by the sea
G              C
Jessie you can always sell
D            Em     D
any dream to me
G              C
Jessie you can always sell
D            G
any dream to me

She asks me how the cat's been,
      C                G
I say Moses, he's just fine
                   Am
He used to think about you
C         G
  all the time
   G                 Am
We finally took your pictures
C             G
down of the wall
                  Am
Jessie how do you always seem to
  C                D
know just when to call?
        Em         D       C
She says: get your stuff together
      Em         D         C
Bring Mose' and drive real fast
    Em        D      C
And listening to her promise
I swear to God this time it's gonna
 D    C  D  C  D
last

  Em       D      C
I love you in the sunshine
        Em          D          C
Lay you down in the warm white sand
