Soft Shoulder by Ani DiFranco Lyric and Guitar Chords

Intro:

Verse:

I don’t keep much stuff around
I value my portability
But I will say that I have saved
Every letter you ever wrote to me

The one you left on my windshield
Outside of that little motel
Is in the pocket of my old gig bag
From back when life was more soft shelled

Chorus:

Letters littered with little lewd pictures
Drawn by the ghost of Woody Guthrie
Who would use your big thick hand
Just to draw one or two for me

Interlude:

Verse:

And I think of your letters as love letters
Which is how I think of songs
In that it is the writing of them
That tends to carry us along

And I dance to one of your old tunes
With my true love on our wedding day
And your voice sang the way my heart would sing
If it finally knew just what to say

Chorus:

Two people pulled over on the same night
To look up at the same stars
They both found their wheels were spinning in a soft shoulder
When they both got back into their cars

And they missed fate’s appointed rendezvous
And then a whole lotta time went by
And one day they were done worshipping the landscape
And they just put down their hands
And moved into the sky

Interlude:

Refrain:

And they

had barely said hello
And it was time to say goodbye

Outro:

End on Am
