[Verse 1]
C#m/G# G# A B
She came in on the red eye to DallasFt.
Worth
E/B G# A B
All the way from sunny Taipei
C#m/G# G# A B
Skin the color of a walnut shell
E/B G# A B
And a baseball cap holding down her black hair
A B
And she came here after midnight
E/B B7sus4
The hot weather made her feel right at home
[Chorus]
E/B A
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks
Drink some of this,
E/B A
it'll put color in your cheeks
[Verse 2]
C#m/G# G# A
He drove in from Mexicali,
B
no worse for wear
E/B G# A B
Money to burn, time to kill
C#m/G# G# A B
But five minutes looking in his eyes and we all
E/B G#
knew He was bro
A B A
ken pretty bad so we gave him what we had
B
We cleared a space for him to sleep in
E/B A
And we let the silence that's our trademark make its
presence felt
[Chorus]
E/B A
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks
Drink some of this,
E/B A B
it'll put color in your cheeks

[Verse 3]
C#m/G# G# A
They came in by the dozens,
B E/B G#
walking or crawling Some were bright
A B
eyed, some were dead on their feet
C#m/G# G# A B E/B
And they came from Zimbabwe or from Soviet Georgia
East St.
G# A B
Louis or from Paris or they lived across the street
A
But they came,
B
and when they finally made it here
E/B A
It was the least we could do to make our welcome clear
[Chorus]
E/B A
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks
Drink some of this,
E/B A B
it'll put color in your cheeks
