Side Of The Road

Em Esus She was stubbornly reckless, so her tattoos screamed Em Am She could make a man beg like a dog, or make him feel like a king C7 Em Then she’s walk away like it didn't mean a thing Em Esus She left him drowning in the gutter, Drowning in the booze, Em Am Drowning in his sorrow, Drowning in the blues C7 Em He was baptized in whiskey, his better angels shed a tear C7 B7 Em And the crumpled fenders of his heart, they were left liein’ on the side of the road Em Esus Now he was the Devil’s handsome brother, silky evil to the core, Em Am He drank souls straight from his women, and abandon them like common whores C7 Em And to him her tattoos, they didn’t mean a thing Em Esus He left her chocking back tequila, Chocking on the bad news, Em Am Chocking on her maddness, Chocking on her blues, C7 Em Now she’s chocking a pistol barrel, her better angles fled in fear C7 B7 Em And her well inked chassis was found liein’ bloody on the side of the road Em Esus He saw a man drowning in the gutter, for some reason he thought he knew him well, Em Am Then he learned what happened to her, and how he likely pushed her on down to hell C7 Em So he kept walking, pretending that it didn’t mean a thing Em Esus But he was crippled by the guilt, Crippled by the pain, Em Am Crippled by the horror of it all,Crippled by the blame, C7 Em So he walked off a bridge while his better angles cheered C7 B7 Em And three days later his body later washed up on the side of the road C7 B7 Em And we all just walked right past them as they lay there on the side of the road
