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