Patty Griffin – Nobodys Crying (Guitar)

 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"

                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.

E                              G#m
Well a long night turns into a couple long years

A                             E
Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears

E                           G#m
Where the very loud voices of my own fears

A                      E
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

                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.

         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

                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.

E
Nobody's crying

E
Nobody's crying
