Sweet Side

Key: GEasy

(Repeat chords until lyrics queue start of verse)

You Grun yourself ragged Ctryin' to be strong.

GYou feel bad when you Cdone nothin' wrong.

GLove got all confused with Canger and pride.

GSo much abuse on such a Clittle child.

GSomeone you trusted Ctold you to shut up, now there's a

Gpain in your gut that you Ccan't get rid of.

GNo one heard your screams, Cwhen you were nine. When

Gbad dreams filled your Csummertime. So,

Gyou don't always show Cyour sweet side.

GYou don't always show Cyour sweet side.

You're Gtough as steel and you Ckeep your chin up.

GYou don't ever feel like you're Cgood enough.

GYou've had the blues ever Csince you were six. Your

Glittle tennis shoes and your Cpick-up sticks. You were

Gscreamed at and kicked Cover and over. Now you

Galways feel sick and you Ccan't keep a lover.

GEvery Christmas there were Cpresents to unwrap but the

Gthings you witnessed when you were Cfive and a half. So

Gyou don't always show Cyour sweet side.

GYou don't always show Cyour sweet side.

GSomeone deserted you, the Cdamage is done. Now

Gyou don't deserve to be Cloved by no one.

GHands that would feed you, Cwhen you were two were the

Gsame hands that beat you Cblack and blue.

GYou get defensive at Cevery turn. You're

Goverly sensitive and Coverly concerned.

GFew precious memories Cno lullabies.

GHollowed out centu-Cries of lies. So

Gyou don't always show Cyour sweet side.

GYou don't always show Cyour sweet side.

I've Gseen you in the kitchen Ccookin' me supper. I

Glistened to you bitchin' and I Cwatched you suffer.

GI still love you baby 'cause I Cknow you. Don't

Gmean to do the cruel Cthings you do. I've

Gseen you sewin' buttons Con your shirt. I've

Gseen you throwin' up when your Cstomach hurt.

GI'll stick by you baby through Cthick and thin. No

Gmatter what kind of Cshape you're in. 'Cause

GI-iiii've seen Cyour sweet side

GI've seen your Csweet side baby.

GI've seen your Csweet side.

GI've seen your Csweet side baby.

GI've seen your Csweet side.

Return Of The Grievous Angel

Key: GHard

Won't Gyou scratch my itch sweet Annie CRich G

GAnd welcome me D7back to Gtown

GCome out on your porch or I'll Cstep into your Gparlour

And I'll A7tell you how it all went D7down

GOut with the truckers and the G7kickers and the cowboy aCngels

And a Ggood saloon in G7every single tCown

And CI remember D7something that you once Gtold me

And CI'll be damned if D7it did not come Gtrue

CTwenty thousand Droads I went Gdown, BmdowFn, Emdown

And Cthey all lead me Dstraight back home to Gyou

Cause I Bmheaded West to Cgrow up D7with the cGountry

EmAcross those prairies D7with those waves of Ggrain

And I Bmsaw my devil, and I Csaw my D7deep blue Gsea

And I Cthought about a calico D7bonnet from CCheyenne to DTenneGsee

GWe flew straight across that Criver Gbridge

Last night D7half past Gtwo

GThe switchman waved his lantern Cgoodbye and good Gday as A7we

Went rolling D7through

GBillboards and truckstops G7pass by the grievous Cangel

GAnd now I know just D7what I have to Gdo

And the Bmman on the radio Cwon't leave Dme Galone

He wants to Emtake my money for Dsomething I've never been Gshown

And I Bmsaw my devil, and I Csaw my Ddeep blue Gsea

And I Cthought about a calico Dbonnet from CCheyenne to DTenneGsee

GThe news I could bring I met Cup with the Gking

On his head an D7amphetamine Gcrown

He talked about unbuckling that old Cbible Gbelt

And A7headed out for some desert D7town

GOut with the truckers and the G7kickers and the cowboy aCngels

And a Ggood saloon in every single Ctown

And CI remember Dsomething that you once Gtold me

And CI'll be damned if Dit did not come Gtrue

CTwenty thousand Droads I went Gdown BmdowFn Emdown

And Cthey all lead me Dstraight back home to Gyou

CTwenty thousand Droads I went Gdown dBmownF doEmwn

And Cthey all lead me Dstraight back home to Gyou
