Useless Desires Chords by Patty Griffin

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ Mmm, mmm _ _
[Eb] Say _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
goodbye to the old street that never cared much for you anyway
The different colored doorways you thought would let you in one [Eb] day
Goodbye to the old bus stop, frozen and waiting _
[Bb] Weekend edition has this town way overrated _
[F] _ Walk [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
across the baseball green, the grass has turned to straw
A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are
[Eb] Goodbye, goodbye, [Cm] goodbye [Eb] old friend, I can't make you stay
[Bb] I can't spend another ten years wishing you would anyway
[F] _ How _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb]
the sky turns to fire _
[Eb] Against the telephone _ wire
_ _ [Gm]
And even I'm _ getting tired of [F] useless _ [Eb] _ desire _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Every _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
day I take a bitter pill, it gets me on my way
All the little aches and pains, the ones I have from day to day
[Eb] So help me think a little less about the things I miss
[Bb] Tell me not to wonder how I ended up like _
[F] this
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty [Gm] train
With a [Bb] million other faces I shoot through the city [Eb] veins
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, you wanted to be free
[Bb] Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I want to _
[F] be
How [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] the sky _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] turns to fire
Against the telephone _ _ _ _ wire
And [Gm] even _ _ _ _ I'm getting tired [F] of useless _ [Bb] [Eb] desire
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Say goodbye to the old building, I never tried to know your name
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, you won't be seeing me again
[Eb] Goodbye to all the window panes, shining in the sun
[Bb] Black diamonds on a winter day
Goodbye, goodbye to everyone
[F] _ How _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] the sky _ turns to fire _
[Eb] Against the telephone _ wire _ _
[Gm] Burns the last _ of the day down
And [Cm] I'm the last [F] one [Eb] hanging around _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ On a train track, and [Eb] the train _ _ never comes [Cm] back
And even [Gm] I'm _ getting tired _ [F] of useless _ [Eb] desire _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
