Capo on 2nd fret
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                 Dsus4       Em         Cadd9
I'm ridin' in the back seat - nine years old
G               Dsus4               Em      Cadd9
Starin' out the window countin' the highway poles
G            Dsus4                Em            Cadd9
And then I get to thinkin' - that it don't seem real
Cadd9
I'm flyin' through the universe in a '69 Oldsmobile
 
[Chorus]
G           Dsus4                       Em             Cadd9
And I wanna know what they're not tellin'
G          Dsus4              Em             Cadd9
And I don't wanna hear no lies
G      Dsus4                    Em             Cadd9
I just want something to believe in
Dsus4 Cadd9                      Dsus4
Aaaaaaaah - it's a lonely lonely road I'm on
Em           Dsus4   G
This side of paradise
 
[Instrumental]
G    Dsus4    Em    Cadd9
 
[Verse 2]
G          Dsus4              Em    Cadd9
I'm ridin' in the back seat - black limousine
G               Dsus4       Em      Cadd9
Starin' out the window at a funeral scene
G                 Dsus4          Em            Cadd9
And then I get to thinkin' - and it don't seem right
Cadd9
I'm sittin' here safe and sound and someone I love is gone tonight
 
[Chorus]
G       Dsus4                 Em      Cadd9
I wanna know what they're not tellin'
G                 Dsus4   Em      Cadd9
And I don't wanna hear no lies
G           Dsus4        Em        Cadd9
I just want something to believe in
Dsus4 Cadd9                      Dsus4
Aaaaaaaah - it's a lonely lonely road we're on
Em           Dsus4    G
This side of paradise
 
[Instrumental]
G    Dsus4    Em    Cadd9
 
[Bridge]
Cadd9
There ain't no crystal ball
G
there ain't no Santa Claus
Cadd9
There ain't no fairy tales
Em
There ain't no streets of gold
Cadd9
There ain't no chosen few
G
Yeah it's just me and you
Cadd9
And that's all we got ya
Dsus4                     G     Dsus4    Em    Cadd9                 G
That's all we got to hold on to                Yeah this side of paradise
 
[Solo]
Dsus4    Em   Cadd9
G    Dsus4    Em    Cadd9
G    Dsus4    Em    Cadd9
                         I remember bein'
[Verse 3]
G                 Dsus4      Em         Cadd9
A little boy in the backseat - nine years old
G             Dsus4             Em             Cadd9
Always askin' questions - never did what I was told
    G             Dsus4    Em            Cadd9
And then I get to thinkin' like I always do
Cadd9
We wander 'round in the darkness but every now and then a little light shines through
 
[Chorus]
    G         Dsus4                 Em      Cadd9
And I want to know what they're not telling
G             Dsus4   Em   Cadd9
I don't wanna hear no lies
G           Dsus4        Em        Cadd9
I just want something to believe in
Dsus4 Cadd9  Dsus4  Cadd9                      Dsus4
Aaaaaaaah oh Aaaaaaah     it's a lonely lonely road we're on
Em           Dsus4    G
This side of paradise
