The Mother Road

                  Bm
I took the mother road
     D          Bm
Down to goddess flesh
            D
I swallowed the key
          Bm               D
I want to learn to swallow my pain
         Bm                  D
Hallowed the fruit, hallowed thy name


[Chorus]

Bm                                D
Guess I needed something to break me
Bm                                   D
Guess I needed something to shake me up
Bm                              D
Guess I needed someone to break me
Bm                                 D
Guess I needed someone to shake me out


[Verse]

          Bm              D
Afraid to live, afraid to die
           Bm                  D
Building a broken but precious web
       Bm            D
Like a spider in Chernobyl
             Bm                       D
And when the cattle low, something is on the horizon
         Bm
I do not have a child
        D
But I'm old enough to know some pain
        Bm
And I'm hell bent on loving you
      D
Women know what it is to endure

[Chorus]

Bm                                D
Guess I needed something to break me
Bm                                   D
Guess I needed something to shake me up
Bm                              D
Guess I needed someone to break me
Bm                                 D
Guess I needed someone to shake me out


[Post-Chorus]

       Bm    D
It was you
       Bm    D
It was you
