Note: This is a guitar chord chart for a song that only uses a piano.
As such, the chords fragments don't always appear to completely form
all the same chords from one verse to the next or one chorus to the next.
I wouldn't use a capo because you do need to move up and down the neck
to get the best approximation of the piano. You'll need to listen as
to when to play the chords up the neck and when to play them closer to the nut.
In particular, the Dm7 and Cm7 need to be played at the 10th and 8th fret
and you can probably leave out some of the bottom 3 strings.
[Intro]
Dm7 Bb Cm7 Gm Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
Gm Jill, it's Amanda, just waving from London Bb I know that you're going tomorrow, the hardest decision Eb Bb Gm And I've been on the side of the phone for a month Bb And I know you're in hell and you know that I know what you're feeling Eb Bb F Bb Life's such a bitch, isn't it? Eb F Bb F Bb When you have a baby, they throw you a party F Bb F Bb Eb And then when you die they get together for a cry
[Chorus]
F Bb But ... no one's gonna celebrate you Gm No one's gonna bring you cake F Eb And no one's gonna shower you with flowers Bb The doctor won't congratulate you Gm No one on that pavement's gonna F Eb Shout at you that your heart also matters
[Interlude]
Dm7 Bb Cm7 Gm Bb Eb Bb
[Verse 2]
Gm I'm not sure that you'll get this in time Bb I don't know if you're checking your voicemail at all Eb Bb But in case it's the morning Gm And you're off at the green line and walking through Copley Bb Eb I want you to stop for a second, I want you to listen Bb Gm You don't need to offer the right explanation Bb Eb You don't need to beg for redemption or ask for forgiveness Bb Gm And you don't need a courtroom inside of your head Bb Eb Where you're acting as judge and accused and defendant and witness
[Bridge]
Bb F Bb Eb It's a strange grief but it's grief F Bb Eb Look at all the women in the street F Bb Eb You know the statistics, Jill Bb Eb Even though they may not help Bb F Isn't it amazing Bb Eb How we can never tell F Gm Eb Who is in an identical hell
[Interlude]
Eb Bb Gm F Eb
[Chorus]
Bb No one's gonna celebrate you Gm Bb No one's gonna bring you cake F Bb Eb And no one's gonna shower you with flowers Bb The doctor won't congratulate you Gm No one on that pavement's gonna F Bb Eb Shout at you that your heart also matters
[Chorus]
Bb No one's gonna compliment you Gm No one's gonna nod their head F Eb And wink in league with what you are pursuing Bb Gm No one's gonna tie surprise balloons onto your desk at work F Eb And no one's gonna ask you how you're doing
[Outro]
F Gm F Eb But ... I'll be back in Boston by next Thursday F Bb Eb Why don't I come over? F Eb F Eb I can bring some friends if you want us to come F Bb F Bb Eb We can bring you cake and we can bring you flowers F Bb F Bb Eb We can bring you wine and we can talk for hours Gm Eb Ukulele by request Bb Gm Eb We'll throw you the best F Bb Abortion shower
