Lucinda Williams – Minneapolis (Guitar)

 G                                 A
I've been waiting for you to come back

           C          G
since you left Minneapolis

                  D
Snow covers the streetlamps and the

   C
windowsills

     G                D                C   G
The buildings and the brittle crooked trees

                  D    G
Dead leaves of December thin skinned and

 D
splintered

 G            D                    C
Never gotten used to this bitter winter

          G                 A
I've been wasted angry and sad since you

 C          G
left Minneapolis

                         D
I wish my thoughts were pure like the

 C
driven snow

        G                D
Like the heavens and the spring's virgin

 C
buds

         G                          D   G
But they strangled me up with their sin

                D     G
fill me up with poison

                  D               C
Black clouds have covered up the sun again

      G               A             C
I can always trace it back to that night in

       G
Minneapolis

                    D            C
Here on the seventh floor in a room I can't

         G
call mine

                D              C        G
Deadbolt on the door do not disturb sign

             D       G
Shaking and trembling on the clean white

D
linen

G                    D
Slivers of starlight danced across the

C
ceiling

  G            A                 C
A dozen yellow roses all thats left in

       G
Minneapolis

                  D                 C
I wish I'd never seen your face or heard

        G               D            C
You're a bad pain in my gut I wanna spit

       G
you out

             D         G
Open up this wound again let my blood flow

D           G
red and thin

          D        G         D        G
Into the glistening into the whiteness

          D                   C     G
Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
