My Back Door Melissa Etheridge
[G] [C] [G] [D] [Cmaj7]When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder[G]
with my bac[C]k to the grass my eyes to the sky to see[G]
[F] [C]I believed in the stars I kn[G]ew they cast a spell that I was under
[F]With my fingers in the dirt, I was part of the e[C]arth
Every living thin[D]g was part of me
But it[G]'s gone
It's [D]gone
It's [Em]gone
i[Cm]t's gone
[G]I can't feel it [C] I can't feel it Must have gone away[G]
[C] [G]out my back door m[D]ust have gone away out my back door
[C] [G] [D]because it's[C] gone
[Em] So I run into the street [C]
[Em] And I'm shouting into the phone asking everyone I meet[C]
[Em] [C]I say "Have you seen it on my doorstep did you see it in my car?
Have you seen it in the alley? Was it on the back of some guitar?
Is it sleeping in the hallway? Does it cry all night alone?
Is it selling itself for money? Does it want- does it want to come home?[D]
[C]I can't let it run away o[G]ut my back door can't le[C]t it run away out my back[G]
[C]door Lord, if I look out the[G]re, if I look out there[C], every day
I can't let it run away , I can't let it run away, I can't let it run
away
Oh if I look out there every day
