Shotgun

INTRO: Em A D verse 1 D G If I had a dollar for each time you let me down D G Then I'd have been a rich man long ago D C G But the thing with lofty notions is you got to let them go Em A Relieve yourself of proof Em A Believe in higher truth Em A Bm A G And look for deeper meaning like the way that poets do Em A D So I only ride shotgun for you verse 2 D G Heading out with you behind the wheel is like a poem D G I hold my tongue and exercise restraint D C G That old familiar roadhouse always puts us in the mood Em A Just as we cross the track Em A I watch you knock them back Em A And though we see those city lights Bm A G Instead, we hit the sack Em A D I only ride shotgun for you BRIDGE Bm G Highways bring on loneliness but I won't beg forgiveness Bm D A 'Cause that is where I'm happiest to be Em With you there next to me Instrumental: A Em A Em A Em A verse 3 Em A So I'll send them my regards Em A In that dark and moldy bar Em A Em A Now I won't have to gamble 'cause that's always where you are Em A Em A But like a shooting star, I'm useless from afar Em A Bm A G So I'm blazing for glory to come get you in my car Em A Bm A G And darling, you know my aim is true Em A D 'Cause I only ride shotgun for you
