Don't Talk Back by Kasey Chambers
Written by Kasey Chambers


Capo 3rd fret

I)G/Em/C/D/ (repeat)


V)         G                   Em
Well it's half my heart and a little bit of soul

       C                       D
That makes me feel I've gotta ride this road

G            Em             C       D
I wouldn't change it if I could

    G                                 Em
And me and this road, you know we've got an understanding

C                     D            G            Em              C      D
It won't leave me at home and I am too tired to do just what I should

C                 D              G     (f#)     Em
And last night I asked if I could take comfort in the rosewood

C                         D
The road said nothing at all



C)         G                (f#)      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                   Em             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                  G
And it all goes away on the other side of town

                     Em        C   D
And nothing is that easy anymore


Well the hurt won't leave with the sight of white lines
But it eases up my pain for a while, the only habit that I keep
And miles take time but the time is mine
And always moving suits me fine, I'll catch my breath when I sleep
And after all that I've done I'm not half what I hoped that I'd become
There's still a long way to go

C)

End on G
