Lucinda Williams – Sweet Side (Guitar)

    G                   C
You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong.

G                     C
You feel bad when you done nothin' wrong.

G                          C
Love got all confused with anger and pride.

G                       C
So much abuse on such a little child.

G                   C
Someone you trusted told you to shut up, now there's a

G                         C
pain in your gut that you can't get rid of.

G                          C
No one heard your screams, when you were nine.  When 

G                      C
bad dreams filled your summertime.  So,

G                     C
you don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

       G                      C
You're tough as steel and you keep your chin up.

G                               C
You don't ever feel like you're good enough.

G                         C
You've had the blues ever since you were six.  Your

G                            C
little tennis shoes and your pick-up sticks. You were 

G                      C
screamed at and kicked over and over. Now you 

G                        C
always feel sick and you can't keep a lover.

G                          C
Every Christmas there were presents to unwrap but the

G                                  C
things you witnessed when you were five and a half.  So

G                     C
you don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                         C
Someone deserted you, the damage is done. Now 

G                       C
you don't deserve to be loved by no one.

G                          C
Hands that would feed you, when you were two were the 

G                        C
same hands that beat you black and blue.

G                    C
You get defensive at every turn.  You're 

G                    C
overly sensitive and overly concerned.

G                     C
Few precious memories no lullabies.

G                  C
Hollowed out centu-ries of lies.  So

G                     C
you don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

     G                       C
I've seen you in the kitchen cookin' me supper.  I

G                              C
listened to you bitchin' and I watched you suffer.

G                              C
I still love you baby 'cause I know you.  Don't

G                    C
mean to do the cruel things you do.  I've 

G                       C
seen you sewin' buttons on your shirt.  I've 

G                              C
seen you throwin' up when your stomach hurt.

G                              C
I'll stick by you baby through thick and thin.  No

G                   C
matter what kind of shape you're in.  'Cause

G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 

G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 

G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 

G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 

G              C
I've seen your sweet side baby.

G              C
I've seen your sweet side. 

G              C
I've seen your sweet side baby.

G              C
I've seen your sweet side.
