Sweet Side Lucinda Williams
[Intro]
(Repeat chords until lyrics queue start of verse)
[G] [C]
[Verse 1]
You [G]run yourself ragged [C]tryin' to be strong.
[G]You feel bad when you [C]done nothin' wrong.
[G]Love got all confused with [C]anger and pride.
[G]So much abuse on such a [C]little child.
[G]Someone you trusted [C]told you to shut up, now there's a
[G]pain in your gut that you [C]can't get rid of.
[G]No one heard your screams, [C]when you were nine. When
[G]bad dreams filled your [C]summertime. So,
[Cborus]
[G]you don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[Verse 2]
You're [G]tough as steel and you [C]keep your chin up.
[G]You don't ever feel like you're [C]good enough.
[G]You've had the blues ever [C]since you were six. Your
[G]little tennis shoes and your [C]pick-up sticks. You were
[G]screamed at and kicked [C]over and over. Now you
[G]always feel sick and you [C]can't keep a lover.
[G]Every Christmas there were [C]presents to unwrap but the
[G]things you witnessed when you were [C]five and a half. So
[Cborus]
[G]you don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[Verse 3]
[G]Someone deserted you, the [C]damage is done. Now
[G]you don't deserve to be [C]loved by no one.
[G]Hands that would feed you, [C]when you were two were the
[G]same hands that beat you [C]black and blue.
[G]You get defensive at [C]every turn. You're
[G]overly sensitive and [C]overly concerned.
[G]Few precious memories [C]no lullabies.
[G]Hollowed out centu-[C]ries of lies. So
[Cborus]
[G]you don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[G]You don't always show [C]your sweet side.
[Verse 4]
I've [G]seen you in the kitchen [C]cookin' me supper. I
[G]listened to you b**chin' and I [C]watched you suffer.
[G]I still love you baby 'cause I [C]know you. Don't
[G]mean to do the cruel [C]things you do. I've
[G]seen you sewin' buttons [C]on your shirt. I've
[G]seen you throwin' up when your [C]stomach hurt.
[G]I'll stick by you baby through [C]thick and thin. No
[G]matter what kind of [C]shape you're in. 'Cause
[Cborus 2]
[G]I-iiii've seen [C]your sweet side
[G]I-iiii've seen [C]your sweet side
[G]I-iiii've seen [C]your sweet side
[G]I-iiii've seen [C]your sweet side
[Cborus 3]
[G]I've seen your [C]sweet side baby.
[G]I've seen your [C]sweet side.
[G]I've seen your [C]sweet side baby.
[G]I've seen your [C]sweet side.
