Patty Griffin - Nobody's Crying Chords

Verse 1: 
-------- 

 E                         Abm 
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky 

      A                      E 
He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly 

    E                     Abm 
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
