Don't Talk Back

Capo IV
Intro: G Em C D . . . G Em C D
Em C
Well it's half my heart and a little bit of soul
G D
That makes me feel I wanna ride this road
Em C G D
I wouldn't change it if I could
Em C
And me and this road, you know we've got an understanding
G D
It won't leave me at home and I am
Em C G D
Too tired to do just what I should
C D G G/F# Em
And last night I asked if I could take comfort in the rosewood
C D
The road said nothing at all
[Refrão] G Em
'Cause it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard
C D
I drive it all night with the wheel of my car
G C D
It won't leave me running for the door
G Em
And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down
C D
And it all goes away on the other side of town
G C D
And nothing is that easy anymore
Em C
Well the hurt won't leave with the sight of white lines
G D
But it eases up my pain for a while
Em C G D
The only habit that I keep
Em C
And miles take time but the time is mine
G D
And always moving suits me fine
Em C G D
I'll catch my breath when I sleep
C D G G/F# Em
And after all that I've done I'm not half what I hoped that I'd become
C D
There's still a long way to go
CHORUS
Break: Em C G D . . . Em C G D
C D G G/F# Em
And last night I asked if I could take comfort in the rosewood
C D
The road said nothing at all
G Em
'Cause it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard
C D
I drive it all night with the wheel of my car
G C D
It won't leave me running for the door
G Em
And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down
C D
And it all goes away on the other side of town
G C D
And nothing is that easy anymore
G Em C D . . . G Em C D . . . Em
