This Ride

G D Em C G D G This Ride, what a ride what a ride, what a ride C D It hurts and it scars and it aches and it twists Em C It starves and it laughs and it balls up its fists D It’s crooked and it hollows and it soothes and it breaks Em C And it grows and it ponders and it toils and it takes D G D C G It stretches and it breathes and it is lonely and long D Em C G D G This ride, what a ride, oh my, what a ride C D It calls and it follows and it breaks down your door Em C It bleeds you dry and it asks you for more D Shows up at your work and it makes you insane Em C And it loses your keys and leaves you crying in the rain D G D C G It’s costly and violent and it’s a sorrowful song D But I am thankful by and by my love Em C And if I’m talking too much just give me a shove G D If I’m walking too fast maybe pick it on up Em C It’s just like Old Yeller and Lonesome Dove C D G When you hate how it ends, but you can’t get enough, this ride C D It lifts and it gives and it singles you out G C It shames and it blames and forgives and it doubts D It inspires and it opens our eyes and it heals G C And it coughs and it slips and it falls and it steals D G D C G Your memory your dignity your husbands and your mothers D C G (4x)
