Amanda Palmer - Voicemail For Jill Chords

[Intro]
Dm7 Bb Cm7 Gm Bb Eb

[Verse 1]
Gm
Jill, it's Amanda, just waving from London
  Bb
I know that you're going tomorrow, the hardest decision
Eb Bb        Gm
    And I've been on the side of the phone for a month
      Bb
And I know you're in hell and you know that I know what you're feeling
Eb Bb F             Bb
      Life's such a b**ch, isn't it?
Eb          F      Bb         F           Bb
   When you have a baby, they throw you a party
F                 Bb       F             Bb   Eb
And then when you die they get together for a cry

[Chorus]
F       Bb
But ... no one's gonna celebrate you
Gm
No one's gonna bring you cake
    F                              Eb
And no one's gonna shower you with flowers
    Bb
The doctor won't congratulate you
Gm
No one on that pavement's gonna
F                                 Eb
Shout at you that your heart also matters

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
        Gm
I'm not sure that you'll get this in time
                       Bb
I don't know if you're checking your voicemail at all
                     Eb        Bb
But in case it's the morning
           Gm
And you're off at the green line and walking through Copley
  Bb                                           Eb
I want you to stop for a second, I want you to listen
Bb     Gm
  You don't need to offer the right explanation
    Bb                                           Eb
You don't need to beg for redemption or ask for forgiveness
Bb         Gm
  And you don't need a courtroom inside of your head
             Bb                                            Eb
Where you're acting as judge and accused and defendant and witness

[Bridge]
Bb          F       Bb             Eb
     It's a strange grief but it's grief
F               Bb               Eb
Look at all the women in the street
F               Bb       Eb
You know the statistics, Jill
Bb                       Eb
Even though they may not help
         Bb  F
Isn't it amazing
           Bb    Eb
How we can never tell
F            Gm        Eb
Who is in an identical hell

[Interlude]
Eb Bb Gm F Eb

[Chorus]
Bb
No one's gonna celebrate you
Gm                       Bb
No one's gonna bring you cake
    F                              Bb   Eb
And no one's gonna shower you with flowers
    Bb
The doctor won't congratulate you
Gm
No one on that pavement's gonna
F                                 Bb Eb
Shout at you that your heart also matters

[Chorus]
Bb
No one's gonna compliment you
Gm
No one's gonna nod their head
    F                                    Eb
And wink in league with what you are pursuing
Bb                              Gm
No one's gonna tie surprise balloons onto your desk at work
    F                                 Eb
And no one's gonna ask you how you're doing

[Outro]
F       Gm           F         Eb
But ... I'll be back in Boston by next Thursday
F                Bb Eb
Why don't I come over?
F           Eb              F                   Eb
I can bring some friends if you want us to come
F                Bb       F                Bb     Eb
We can bring you cake and we can bring you flowers
F                Bb       F               Bb    Eb
We can bring you wine and we can talk for hours
Gm         Eb
Ukulele by request
Bb           Gm     Eb
We'll throw you the best
F        Bb
Abortion shower
