Rabbit In The Road

	  		



Verse 1:
       Em                 C 
You’re scared of getting stuck 
D            G 
Scared to be alone 
      Em                 C 
You’re scared of your own history 
        D                      Em 
And now you’re scared of all my songs 
                               C 
But there’s a beating in your chest 
    D                G 
Just like the one in mine 
     Em            C 
And I remember you smiling 
   D               G 
I remember all the time 


 
 C                   G 
Oh, we’ll still grow old 
   C                       D 
Not side by side but on our own 
  G             D 
I cannot say I trust you 
           Em               C 
And I don’t want to be your friend 
                       D              G 
But I think I see your goodness again 


 
 
Verse 2:
     Em            C 
Your love is unsurpassed 
         D                    G 
It burns bright and it burns fast 
             Em                    C 
It’s not the kind of love you can count on 
        D                 Em 
But it’s stunning while it lasts 
                    C 
You’re driven by the impulse 
   D              G 
It never lets you rest 
      Em                      C 
And I know you didn’t mean to hurt me 
         D               G 
You just did what you do best 



 C                   G 
Oh, we’ll still grow old 
   C                       D 
Not side by side but on our own 
  G             D 
I cannot say I trust you 
           Em               C 
And I don’t want to be your friend 
                       D              G 
But I think I see your goodness again 



Bridge:
 
 Bm        Em          C 
Sparkling eyes in a crowded room 
        Bm                   Em 
I still think of you in the springtime 
           C 
When your favorite flowers bloom 
           C 
When your favorite flowers bloom 


Verse 3:
    Em                 C 
You stepped out of the car 
        D               G 
For the rabbit in the road 
             Em                C 
You couldn’t bear to watch him suffer 
      D              Em 
Lying mangled in the snow 
                           C 
With your hands around his neck 
     D            G 
You spared his misery 
    Em                  C 
How swift you gave that rabbit 
         D                  G 
What you couldn’t give to me 



 C                   G 
Oh, we’ll still grow old 
   C                       D 
Not side by side but on our own 
  G             D 
I cannot say I trust you 
           Em               C 
And I don’t want to be your friend 
                       D              G 
But I think I see your goodness again
