G                 Dsus4       Em         C
I'm ridin' in the back seat - nine years old
G               Dsus4               Em       C
Starin' out the window countin' the highway poles
G            Dsus4                Em             C
And then I get to thinkin' - that it don't seem real
C
I'm flyin' through the universe in a '69 Oldsmobile

Chorus:
G           Dsus4                  Em C
And I wanna know what they're not tellin'
G          Dsus4           Em C
And I don't wanna hear no lies
G      Dsus4                    Em C
I just want something to believe in
Dsus4 C                          Dsus4
Aaaaaaaah - it's a lonely lonely road I'm on
Em           Dsus4   G
This side of paradise

I'm ridin' in the back seat - black limousine
Starin' out the window at a funeral scene
And then I get to thinkin' - and it don't seem right
I'm sittin' here safe and sound and someone I love is gone tonight

Chorus:
I wanna know what they're not tellin'
I don't wanna hear no lies
I just want something to believe in
Ahh - it's a lonely, lonely road we're on
This side of paradise

C
There ain't no crystal ball
G
there ain't no Santa Claus
C
There ain't no fairy tales
Em
There ain't no streets of gold
C
There ain't no chosen few
G
Yeah it's just me and you
C
And that's all we got ya
Dsus4                     G    Dsus4  Em
That's all we got to hold on to
 C                G
Yeah this side of paradise

I remember bein' a little boy in the back seat - nine years old
Always askin' questions - never did what I was told
And then I'd get to thinkin' like I always do
We wander 'round in the darkness but every now and then
A little light shines through

Chorus:
I wanna know what they're not telling
I don't wanna hear no lies
I just want something to believe in
Ahh - it's a lonely, lonely road we're on
This side of paradise
