Minneapolis Chords by Lucinda Williams

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've _ _ _ _ been waiting for you to [A] come back since [C] you left _ [G] Minneapolis. _ _
Snow covers the [D] street lamps [C] and the windowsill,
_ _ _ [G] _
the buildings and the [D] brittle _ [G] crooked [C] tree. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ Dailies of [D] December, _
_ [G] thin skin and [D] splinter, _
_ [G] _ never got [D] used to this [G] bitter [C] winter.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I've been wasted, angry [A] and sad [C] since you left _ _ [G] Minneapolis. _
I wish my [D] thoughts were pure like [C] the driven _ snow, _ _ _
[G] like the heavens and [D] the springs _ [C] burgeoning by. _ _ _ _
[G] But they strangle me with [D] their sin, _ [G] _ fill me up [D] with poison.
_ _ [G] Black [Bm] clouds have [D] covered _ [C] up the sun again. _ _ _ _
[G] I can always trace [A] it back [C#] to [C] that night in [G] Minneapolis. _
_ Here on the seventh _ [D] floor, in [C] a room I can't call mine,
_ [G] _ _ deadbolt on [D] the door, do not [C] disturb sign. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Shaking [D] and trembling _ [G] on the clean [D] white linen, _ _
_ [G] slivers of [D] starlight danced [G] across the [C] ceiling. _ _ _ _ _
[G] A dozen yellow [A] roses, all [C] that's left in [G] Minneapolis. _
_ I wish I'd never [D] seen your face, [G] but [C] heard your voice. _ _ _
[G] You're a bad thing, am [D] I God?
I want to [C] spit you out.
_ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G] _ Open up this [D] wound again, _ [G] let my blood [D] flow red and thin.
_ [G] _ Into the [D] glistening, _
_ [G] _ into the [D] _ whiteness,
_ [G] _ into [D] the melting snow [C] of _ Minneapolis. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
