Side Of The Road Chords by Lucinda Williams

_ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ [B] You wait in [C#m] the car [A] on the side of the [B] road.
_ _ [E] Let me [B] go and stand [C#m] a while.
I [A] want to know you're there, [B] but I want to be alone. _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] If [A] only for a [E] minute or two.
[B] _ _ [F#m] I want [A] to see what it feels [E] like to be [B] without you.
[F#m] I [A] want to know the touch [E] of my own [B] skin.
_ [F#m] _ [A] Against the sun, [E] against [B] the wind. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [B] I walked out [C#m] in a field, the grass [A] was high, brushed [B] against my legs.
[E] I [B] just stood and looked [C#m] out at the [A] open space [B] and a farmhouse out of way.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] And [A] I wondered about [E] the people [B] who lived in [F#m] it.
[A] And I wondered [E] if they were happy [B] and content.
_ [F#m] Were [A] there children [E] and [B] a wife?
[F#m] Did [A] she love him and [E] take her here [B] down at night? _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [B] If I stray [C#m] away too far, [A] don't go and [B] try to find me. _
[E] _ [B] It doesn't mean I [C#m] don't love you.
[A] It doesn't mean I [B] won't come back and save you soon. _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [A] It only means [E] I need a little [B] _
[F#m] time to [A] follow [E] a [B] broken [F#m] line.
[A] To a place [E] where the wild [B] things grow. _
[F#m] _ To a place [E] where I used to always [B] go.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[B] La la la, [C#m] la la la, [A] la la [B] la, la _ _ [E] _ [B] la la.
[C#m] _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [A] If only [E] for a minute or [B] two.
_ [F#m] _ [A] I want to see what it [E] feels like to [B] be without you.
[F#m] _ [A] I want to know the [E] touch of my [B] own skin.
[F#m] _ _ [A] Against the [E] sun, [B] against the wind. _ _ _ _ _ _
