No Telling by Linda Thompson
No Telling
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
C G C G C G
[Verse]
D G C
He came in the ballroom, just a crazy old man
G D G
His eyes seemed to glaze in the light
D G C
Just some old hawker, to judge by his rags
G D G
Come in from the cold of the night
[Verse]
C G C G
And the whole room was dancing, they paid him no mind
C G Am D
As he slipped to the bar and said, "Please be so kind"
G D G C
The music kept ringing in the back of his mind
G D G
No telling what a love song will do
[Verse]
D G C
As the queen of the ballroom sang a favourite song
G D G
He stood with the glass in his hand
D G C
He was weary of living the days of his life
G D G
And tonight was the last he could stand
[Verse]
C G C G
He shut out the future, he shut out the past
C G Am D
And even the present was running out fast
G D G C
The queen of the ballroom said, "Make this the last"
G D G
No telling what a love song will do
[Instrumental]
G D G C G C G
G D G C G D G
[Verse]
D G C
As she started to sing for the very last time
G D G
He trembled as he stood there alone
D G C
And the pain he'd been holding inside for so long
G D G
Just fell from his heart and was gone
[Verse]
C G C G
It was only a love song, simple and clear
C G Am D
But he bowed as it shook him with every last tear
G D G C
And he cried from relief, and he cried half from fear
G D G
No telling what a love song will do
[Verse]
D G C
Oh, the queen of the ballroom still glitters and shines
G D G
Each night at the "Old Kindness Sake"
D G C
And maybe its something they put in the wine
G D G
But her beauty refuses to fade
[Verse]
C G C G
I think she got married to a stranger, they say
C G Am D
Just a crazy old man who came passing one day
G D G C
And the whole town still dances and the music still plays
G D G
No telling what a love song will do
C G D G C G D G
No telling what a love song will do
