Nobody's Crying by Patty Griffin chords
Start Jamming...
[E]
He jumps in the taxi for the sky [A] He's off to slay some demon [E]
dragonfly
And he looks at me that long last time Turns [A] away again [Em] and I waved goodbye
In [B] an envelope, inside his coat There's a [A] chain I wore [Em] around my throat
[B]
Along [E] with a note I wrote [A] That said I love you but I don't [B] [Em] even know why
Darling [Bm] [E] I wish you well [Em] On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of the [A] world's gates of hell [Em] But I can tell how hard [E] you're trying
I just have this secret hope Sometimes all we do is call
Somewhere on [A] the steepest slope There's [Em] an endless road and [E] nobody's crying
[A] But [E]
a long night turns into a couple long years Of [B] me walking around and around [E] this trail of tears
With the very loud voices of my own fear [A] Ever ringing and ringing
[E] in my ear
Says your love [Em] is long gone [A] Every move I make is [E] all wrong
Says you never gave [B] a damn for me Or anything or [Em] anyone
Darling I wish you well On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of [B] the world's gates of hell [E] But I can tell how [B] [E] hard you're trying
I [B]
[E] just have this secret hope Sometimes all we do is call
Somewhere [Em] on the steepest slope There's an endless road [B] and nobody's [E] crying
[A] [E]
But a long night turns into a couple long years
May you [B] dream you are dreaming [E] In a [A] warm soft [E] bed
And may the [B] voices inside [E] you That fill you with dread
Make the sounds of [B] thousands [E]
[A] of [E] angels [Em] instead
Tonight where you might be [A] Lay in your [Em]
head
I [E] wish you well On your way [Em] to the wishing well
Swinging off of the world's gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying
[A] I [E]
still have this secret hope [A] [Em] Sometimes all I do is call
Somewhere on the [A] steepest slope [E] There's an endless road and nobody's crying
Nobody's crying [A]
[E] Nobody's crying
[A] [E]
