This Ride, what a ride what a ride, what a ride
[Verse 1]
C D
It hurts and it scars and it aches and it twists
Em C
It starves and it laughs and it balls up its fists
D
It’s crooked and it hollows and it soothes and it breaks
Em C
And it grows and it ponders and it toils and it takes
D G D C G
It stretches and it breathes and it is lonely and long
[Chorus]
D Em C G D G
This ride, what a ride, oh my, what a ride
[Verse 2]
C D
It calls and it follows and it breaks down your door
Em C
It bleeds you dry and it asks you for more
D
Shows up at your work and it makes you insane
Em C
And it loses your keys and leaves you crying in the rain
D G D C G
It’s costly and violent and it’s a sorrowful song
[Bridge]
D
But I am thankful by and by my love
Em C
And if I’m talking too much just give me a shove
G D
If I’m walking too fast maybe pick it on up
Em C
It’s just like Old Yeller and Lonesome Dove
C D G
When you hate how it ends, but you can’t get enough, this ride
[Verse 3]
C D
It lifts and it gives and it singles you out
G C
It shames and it blames and forgives and it doubts
D
It inspires and it opens our eyes and it heals
G C
And it coughs and it slips and it falls and it steals
D G D C G
Your memory your dignity your husbands and your mothers
