Nobodys Crying chords by Patty Griffin

Verse 1:
--------

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

      E
He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly

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

E
Turned away again and I waved goodbye

B
In an envelope, inside his coat

     E
Is a chain I wore, around my throat

B
Along with, a note I wrote

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



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

                     B
On your way to the wishing well

                        A
Swinging off of those gates of hell

           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
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

       E
Every move I make is all wrong

          B
Says you never gave a damn for me

     B7
For anything, for anyone

*Chorus:
--------

*Break:
-------

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

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

         E
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead

    B7
Tonight where you might be laying your head
