Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky

 He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly

 And he looked at me, that long last time

Turned away again and I waved goodbye

In an envelope, inside his coat

 Is a chain I wore, around my throat

Along with, a note I wrote

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

Chorus

 But darling, I wish you well

 On your way to the wishing well

 Swinging off of those gates of hell

 But I can tell how hard you're trying

 Just have that secret hope

 sometimes all we do is cope

 Somewhere on the steepest slope

 There'll be an endless rope

 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

 It says that love is long gone

 Every move I make is all wrong

 Says you never gave a damn for me

 For anything, for anyone

Chorus

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

 And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread

 Make the sound of thousands of angels instead

 Tonight where you might be laying your head
