Chords with lyrics

Soft Shoulder - Ani DiFranco


Intro:

A minorAm G+G


Verse:

A minorAm              G+G
  I don't keep much stuff around
A minorAm          G+G
  I value my portability
A minorAm               G+G
  But I will say that I have saved
A minorAm                G+G
  Every letter you ever wrote to me

A minorAm               G+G
  The one you left on my windshield
A minorAm             G+G
  Outside of that little motel
A minorAm                  G+G
  Is in the pocket of my old gig bag
A minorAm                    G+G
  From back when life was more soft shelled

Chorus:

A minorAm                 FF
  Letters littered with little lewd pictures
A minorAm               FF
  Drawn by the ghost of Woody Guthrie
A minorAm                 FF
  Who would use your big thick hand
    G+G            FF
Just to draw one or two for me


Interlude:

A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G


Verse:

A minorAm                   G+G
  And I think of your letters as love letters
A minorAm               G+G
  Which is how I think of songs
A minorAm                   G+G
  In that it is the writing of them
A minorAm                G+G
  That tends to carry us along

A minorAm                    G+G
  And I dance to one of your old tunes
A minorAm                   G+G
  With my true love on our wedding day
A minorAm                           G+G
  And your voice sang the way my heart would sing
A minorAm                   G+G
  If it finally knew just what to say

Chorus:

A minorAm                   FF
  Two people pulled over on the same night
A minorAm              FF
  To look up at the same stars
A minorAm                    FF
  They both found their wheels were spinning in a soft shoulder
     G+G              FF
When they both got back into their cars

A minorAm                       FF
  And they missed fate's appointed rendezvous
A minorAm                  FF
  And then a whole lotta time went by
A minorAm                 FF
  And one day they were done worshipping the landscape
       G+G
And they just put down their hands
  FF
And moved into the sky


Interlude:

A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G


Refrain:

    FF
And they had barely said hello
               A minorAm
And it was time to say goodbye


Outro:

A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G

End on A minorAm
