Nobodys Crying chords by Patty Griffin

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
--------

 G# minorG#m
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky

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

  G# minorG#m
And he looked at me, that long last time

E MajorE
Turned away again and I waved goodbye

BB
In an envelope, inside his coat

   E MajorE
Is a chain I wore, around my throat

BB
Along with, a note I wrote

     BB
Said "I love you but, I don't ... even know why"


*Chorus:
-------
        E MajorE
But darling, I wish you well

           BB
On your way to the wishing well

            A augmentedA
Swinging off of those gates of hell

      E MajorE
But I can tell how hard you're trying

         E MajorE
Just have that secret hope

         BB
sometimes all we do is cope
          A augmentedA
Somewhere on the steepest slope

         BB
There'll be an endless rope

       E MajorE
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

  BB
It says that love is long gone

    E MajorE
Every move I make is all wrong

     BB
Says you never gave a damn for me

   B7B7
For anything, for anyone

*Chorus:
--------

*Break:
-------

     E MajorE
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed

       E MajorE
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread

     E MajorE
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead

  B7B7
Tonight where you might be laying your head
