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
[Instrumental]
Bm D
[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
[Instrumental]
