Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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"
 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.
 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
 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
