[Verse 1]

    D5     C#5

I'm selfish

  B5               A5             G5  F#5  Em  A

I always made your problems â€™bout me

        D5      C#5

I can't help it

  B5           A5             G5  F#5       Em  A

I wish I had a little empathy         for ya.

         D5

But that night that you told me

     C#5

That I don't work hard enough

B5        A5

Told me I cracked too much ripped me to pieces

         G5     F#5  Em  A

And then called it   love.

       D5                 C#5

Oh and I never handled it quite like I wanted to

B5                  A5

What was I supposed to do?

G5           F#5              Em   A

Knowing that both of us had enough.





[Chorus]

                      D5

But when you think of me

  C#5                      B5

I hope you think of Joshua Tree

     A5                G5              F#5

That summer, where the road went on forever

Em              A

No one in sight for us

                  D5

When you think of me

  C#5                   B5             A5

I hope you think of the letters that I sent ya

             G5                 F#5

From across town, just â€™cause I missed ya

         Em               A

When the worst was yet to come

               D5  C#5  B5  A5                 G5   F#5   Em   A

And you know I do,             when I think of you

                D5  C#5  B5  A5                G5   F#5   Em   A

Yeah you know I do,            when I think of you.





[Verse 2]

       D5      C#5

You're careless

B5            A5                G5  F#5  Em  A

Always saying things you didn't mean

            D5     C#5

Took me for granted

B5              A5             G5  F#5  Em  A

Expecting me to find the in-between

         D5                         D5

But that night that I told you that I wouldn't marry you

B5                          A5

Swear I could feel from the floor to the ceiling

     G5    F#5    Em  A

Your walls came   up.

          D5                     C#5

So then I pulled you closer, and you pushed me further

    B5

And nothing would matter

   A5

We kept getting sadder

    G5     F#5  Em  A

And called it   love.





[Chorus]

                      D5

But when you think of me

  C#5                      B5

I hope you think of Joshua Tree

     A5                G5              F#5

That summer, where the road went on forever

Em              A

No one in sight for us

                  D5

When you think of me

  C#5                   B5             A5

I hope you think of the letters that I sent ya

             G5                 F#5

From across town, just â€™cause I missed ya

         Em               A

When the worst was yet to come

               D5  C#5  B5  A5                 G5   F#5   Em   A

And you know I do,             when I think of you

                D5  C#5  B5  A5                G5   F#5   Em   A

Yeah you know I do,            when I think of you.





[Bridge]

           D5        C#5             B5   A5

I think of New Year's     in San Francisco

            G5              F#5

Drunk on my roof looking at you

              Em        A

Wrapped up in your coat

            D5      C#5

So tell me, my dear

            B5        A

What do you think of?

            G5            F#5         Em   A

Don't you remember why we fell in love?





[Chorus]

                          D5

Oh, and when you think of me

                      D5

But when you think of me

  C#5                      B5

I hope you think of Joshua Tree

     A5                G5              F#5

That summer, where the road went on forever

Em              A

No one in sight for us

                  D5

When you think of me

  C#5                   B5             A5

I hope you think of the letters that I sent ya

             G5                 F#5

From across town, just â€™cause I missed ya

         Em               A

When the worst was yet to come

               D5  C#5  B5  A5                 G5   F#5     Em   A

Cos you know I do,             when I think of you,    oh baby

                D5  C#5  B5  A5                G5   F#5

Yeah you know I do,            when I think of you

            Em   A                      D5 C#5

I think of you,     I think of you, baby

        B5                 A5   G5   F#5

Are you thinking â€™bout me, baby?

        Em               A        C5

I ain’t thinking 'bout ya, hmmm...
