It does look like chicory. Did it have little blue flowers? And do the roots look like anemic carrots?
Might well be.
(You can roast & grind the roots to make a horrible "fake coffee" drink, too. Blech!)

It looks like something in the genus Rumex, the docks. Could be conglomeratus or pulcher, both are pretty common. Your photos are a little distorted, so I can't be sure.

I'm not sure, but I know that it is most certainly not chicory.
