Verse 1:  
 

 E                         Abm  
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky  

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

    E                     Abm  
And he looked at me, that long last time  

A                         E  
Turned away again and I waved goodbye  
   

B  
In an envelope, inside his coat  

     A                 E  
Is a chain I wore, around my throat  

B  
Along with, a note I wrote  

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

 
                E            A E  
But darling, I wish you well  

                     B  
On your way to the wishing well  

                        A  
Swinging off of those gates of hell  

           B                    E       A 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     A 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  

       A              E  
Every move I make is all wrong  

          B  
Says you never gave a damn for me  

     A             B         B7  
For anything, for anyone  

Chorus  
  

  

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

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

         B                     A              E  
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead  

    B                        A          B  B7  
Tonight where you might be laying your head
