Kasey Chambers - Don't Talk Back

From "The Captain" (2002)
(Kasey Chambers)

Capo: 4th Fret

INTRO: [G]  [Em]  [C]  [D] (x2)

Well it's [Em]half my heart and a [C]little bit of soul
That [G]makes me feel I wanna [D]ride this road
[Em] I wouldn't [C]change it if I [G] could  [D]
And [Em]me and this road, you know we've [C]got an understanding
[G]It won't leave me at [D]home
And I am [Em] too tired to [C]do just what I [G]should [D]
And [C]last night I [D]asked
If I could [G] take comfort [Em]in the rosewood
[C] The road said nothing at [D]all

CHORUS:
'Cause it [G]don't talk back unless the [Em]wind blows hard
I [C]drive it all night with the [D]wheel of my car
[G] It won't leave me [Em]running for the [C]door [D]
And if the [G]paint's still wet I can [Em]just slow down
And it [C]all goes away on the [D]other side of town
[G] And nothing is that [Em]easy any[C]more [D]

Well the [Em]hurt won't leave with the [C]sight of white lines
But it [G]eases up my [D]pain for a while,
[Em] The only [C]habit that [G]I keep [D]
And [Em]miles take time but the [C]time is mine
And a[G]lways moving [D]suits me fine
[Em] I'll catch my [C]breath when I [G] sleep[D]
[C] And after [D]all that I've done
[G] I'm not half what I [Em]hoped that I'd become
[C]There's still a long way to [D]go

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: [Em]  [C]  [G]  [D] (x2)

And [C]last night I [D]asked
If I could [G] take comfort [Em]in the rosewood
[C] The road said nothing at [D]all

CHORUS (x2)

OUTRO: [G]  [Em]  [C]  [D]  (x2)  [G]
