Minneapolis

Minneapolis by Lucinda Williams from the album World Without Tears Intro G/G/G/G/G/G/G/G G A Ive been waiting for you to come back C G since you left Minneapolis D Snow covers the streetlamps and the C windowsills C The buildings and the brittle crooked trees G Dead leaves of December, thin skinned and D splintered G D C Never gotten used to this bitter winter A Ive been wasted angry and sad since you C G left Minneapolis D I wish my thoughts were pure like the C driven snow G D Like the heavens and the springs virgin C buds G But they strangled me with their sin, fill D me up with poison C Black clouds have covered up the sun again C I can always trace it back to that night in G Minneapolis C Here on the seventh floor in a room I cant call mine C Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign G D Shaking and trembling G D On the clean white linen D Slivers of starlight danced across the C ceiling C A dozen yellow roses all thats left in G Minneapolis D C I wish Id never seen your face or heard your voice C Youre a bad pain in my gut, I wanna spit you out G Open up this wound again, let my blood flow D red and thin G D G D G Into the glistening, into the whiteness D C G Into the melting snow of Minneapolis (Thanks to Eddie Smith for tabs)
