        Em7
I don't know

how it goes

green on one

side of the road

All I know is when
you can't

We rode those
G      Em   C
horses up until

The sun went down
 Em      C
over the hills
         G
And when Shar died
Em    C
oh it broke your
heart
        G
I thank God we want

more than a mile
apart

She was all you had

In that broken house

Why the grass
grows green on one

side of the road

[Bridge]
C
Because your
past is in the
G
attic and your
fears
           Em
are in the basement
            C
And there’s fighting in the
D
kitchen and you're
G           Em
trying to escape it
       C
We can sit and
        D
talk it through
     G
Just down a block
   Em7
or two

[Chorus]
        G
I don't know
       D
how it goes
        C
Why the grass grows
green on one
     D      Em
side of the road
               D
All I know is, when
you can't
      C
take it anymore
I'm right next
G    Em  C    Em  C
door

[Outro]
        G   Em   C
I'm in Ohio at a show
             G
And they are crying
Em     C
in the front row
          G
It's just love
we’re
Em       C
looking for
  G        Em
Reminds me of the
C    Em   G
girl next door
