Nobodys Crying by 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
