Gravel

guitar chords lyrics

Ani DiFranco

i think the chord alignment got a little off when i transferred this from notepad
to the website, but they're the right ones as far as i can tell. there were only
bass tabs online so i sat down at my piano and figured it out. hope it translates
well to guitar. enjoy!


F G
i heard the sound of your bike,
F G
as your wheels hit the gravel,

F G F G
then your engine in the driveway cutting off
F G
and i pushed through the screen door
F G
and i stood out on the porch
F G F G
thinking fight, fight, fight at all costs,
F G
but instead i let you in,
F G
just like i've always done
F G F G
and i sat you down and offered you a beer
F G
and across the kitchen table
F G
i fired several rounds,
F G F G
but you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared.


A C A G F
and you came crawling back to say
A C A G F
that you wanna make good in the end
A C A G F
and oh, oh, let me count the ways
F G
that i abhor you,
A C A G F
and you were never a good lay
A C A G F
and you were never a good friend
A C A G F
but, oh, oh, what else can i say...
F G
i adore you


F G
all i need is my leather,
F G
one t-shirt and two socks,
F G
i'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
F G
and you can use the engine block,
F G
and we'll ride out to california
F G
with my arms around your chest,
F G
and i'll pretend that this is real
F G
'cuz this is what i like best,
F G
and you've been juggling two women
F G
like a stupid circus clown
F G F G
telling us both we are the one
F G F G
and maybe you can keep me from ever being happy,
F G F G
but you're not gonna stop me from having fun.


A C A G F
so let's go before i change my mind
A C A G F
i'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind
A C A G F
'cuz i am bigger than everything
F G
that came before


A C A G F
and you were never very kind,
A C A G F
and you let me way down every time
A C A G F
but oh, oh, oh what can i say...
F G
i adore you


F G
i heard the sound of your bike,
F G
as your wheels hit the gravel,
F G F
then your engine in the driveway cutting off
