E|----3----3----x----|
Bridge:
C/G G# C/G G# Am F-F#-G-G#-A-F
Note: There isn't really a guitar part in the verse. That's just kind of a
mix of the piano and bass. Make up your own verse if you want.

| "the dust and sand is what they sell" could also be referring to the fact that Vegas is in the desert. I'm pretty positive its about Vegas because I remember seeing an interview they did or something mentioning Vegas and how they don't like it...? I dunno. It makes sense though. | |

| References to Dust and Sand might also be references to the "Golddust" and former "Sands" casinos. | |

| I love this song. It's so different and it sounds like it would be something you would hear on Broadway. Maybe it's about Las Vegas. There seems to be so many references in this song about Vegas. the clock still says it won't be long till all your hard earned money's gone And then there is the prostitute reference. Prostitutes are legal in Vegas.Tourist references...and it just sounds like Las Vegas. The trumpet in there...I don't know. | |

| I think that this song is about a place like Las Vegas or some flashy place like that where people go thinking that they can have all these amazing things but they never get anywhere, people just get stuck in there. And how one person lost everything and is making a promise to himself to never go back there again | |

| this song is just so amazing. alex has some of the strongest vocals i have ever heard. he is more talented than some of the artists 2 times his age. i too think this song is in reference to las vegas. vegas is like a "wishing well" because people go there and they stand at the tables and slot machines just wishing and raying that they'll hit it big. the song's title is a great metaphor. phantom planet rules. | |
