- My Back Door- Melissa Etheridge-- Brave and Crazy
G Dsus D ( :--as if you didn't see it coming : )] Em C
When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
with my back to the grass my eyes to the sky to see
I believed in the stars I knew they cast a spell that I was under
With my fingers in the dirt, I was part of the earth
Every living thing was part of me
But it's gone
It's gone
It's gone
it's gone
I can't feel it I can't feel it Must have gone away
out my back door must have gone away out my back door
because it's gone
So I run into the street
And I'm shouting into the phone asking everyone I meet
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?
I can't let it run away out my back door can't let it run away out my back
door Lord, if I look out there, if I look out there, 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
