Patty Griffin - Nobodys Crying

verse 1 :
– – – – – – – –

E G#m
well he jumps in the taxi , headed for the sky

A E
he’s off to slay some demon or dragonfly

E G#m
and he looked at me , that long last time

A E
turned away again and i waved goodbye

B
in an envelope , inside his coat

A E
is a chain i wore , around my throat

B
along with , a note i wrote

A B
said “i love you but , i don’t . . . even know why”

* chorus :
– – – – – – –
E A E
but darling , i wish you well

B
on your way to the wishing well

A
swinging off of those gates of hell

B E A E
but i can tell how hard you’re trying

E
just have that secret hope

B
sometimes all we do is cope

A
somewhere on the steepest slope

B
there’ll be an endless rope

E A E
and nobody crying .

* verse 2 :
– – – – – – – – –
same chords as 1st verse except where noted

well a long night turns into a couple long years
of me walkin’ around , around this trail of tears
where the very loud voices of my own fears
is ringin’ and ringin’ in my ears

B
it says that love is long gone

A E
every move i make is all wrong

B
says you never gave a damn for me

A B B7
for anything , for anyone

* chorus :
– – – – – – – –

* break :
– – – – – – –

B A E
may you dream you are dreaming , in a warm soft bed

B A E
and may the voices inside you that fill you with dread

B A E
make the sound of thousands of angels instead

B A B B7
tonight where you might be laying your head
