Side of the Road

Songs For Goldfish

Ben Folds


Verse: 
C G Am F G
C G Am F G

Chorus:
Dm F C G
Dm F C G

Verse: C G Am F G (x2)
You wait in the car
On the side of the road
Let me go and stand a while
I wanna know you're there
But I wanna be alone

Chorus: Dm F C G (x2)
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels like to live without you
I wanna feel the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind

Verse: C G Am F G (x2)
I walked out in a field
The grass was high and it brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out at the open space
And a farm house out a little ways

Chorus: Dm F C G (x2)
And I wondered about the people who lived in it
And I wondered if they were happy and content
Were there children and a man and a wife
And did she love him and take her hair down at night

Verse: C G Am F G (x2)
If I stray too far from you
Don't go and try to find me
It doesn't mean that I don't love you
It don't mean that I won't come back and stay beside you

Chorus: Dm F C G (x2)
It only means that I need a little time
To follow that unbroken line
To a place where the wild things grow
To a place where I always used to go.

Solo (Verse chords) C G Am F G (x2)

Chorus: Dm F C G (x2)
If only for a minute or two,
I wanna see what it feels like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind.
