Side of the Road from Songs For Goldfish by Ben Folds [Verse]
C    G         Am 
You wait in the car

        F          G
On the side of the road

C       G             Am
Let me go and stand a while

          F                       G
I wanna know you're there, but I wanna be alone
[Chorus]
Dm    F        C         G
If only for a minute or two

Dm       F                     C            G
I wanna see what it feels like to live without you

Dm        F               C         G
I wanna feel the touch of my own skin

Dm     F              C        G
Against the sun, against the wind
[Verse]
C          G        Am
I walked out in a field

               F                    G
The grass was high and it brushed against my legs

C                    G                   Am
I just stood and looked out at the open space

        F                G
And a farm house out a little ways
[Chorus]
  Dm     F                C           G
And I wondered about the people who lived in it

Dm       F                   C            G
And I wondered if they were happy and content

Dm         F              C           G
Were there children and a man and a wife

Dm          F                     C            G
And did she love him and take her hair down at night
[Verse]
C       G                 Am
If I stray too far from you

    F                 G
Don't go and try to find me

C             G                      Am
It doesn't mean that I don't love you

         F                     G
It don't mean that I won't come back and stay beside you
[Chorus]
Dm       F               C          G
It only means that I need a little time

Dm        F        C      G
To follow that unbroken line

Dm      F          C            G
To a place where the wild things grow

Dm      F           C            G
To a place where I always used to go.
[Solo] C G Am F G (x2) [Chorus]
Dm    F        C         G
If only for a minute or two

Dm       F                     C            G
I wanna see what it feels like to live without you

Dm        F               C         G
I wanna feel the touch of my own skin

Dm     F              C        G
Against the sun, against the wind
