Minneapolis 2 - Lucinda Williams

Minneapolis 2 chords

 G                                 A
I've been waiting for you to come back
           C          G
since you left Minneapolis
                  D
Snow covers the streetlamps and the 
   C
windowsills
     G                D                C   G
The buildings and the brittle crooked trees
                  D    G
Dead leaves of December thin skinned and 
 D
splintered
 G            D                    C
Never gotten used to this bitter winter
          G                 A       
I've 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

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Like the heavens and the spring's virgin 
 C
buds
         G                          D   G
But they strangled me up with their sin 
                D     G
fill me up with poison
                  D               C
Black clouds have covered up the sun again
      G               A             C
I can always trace it back to that night in 
       G
Minneapolis
                    D            C    
Here on the seventh floor in a room I can't 
         G
call mine
                D              C        G
Deadbolt on the door do not disturb sign
             D       G             
Shaking and trembling on the clean white 
D
linen
G                    D   
Slivers of starlight danced across the 
C
ceiling
  G            A                 C
A dozen yellow roses all thats left in
       G
Minneapolis
                  D                 C
I wish I'd never seen your face or heard

your voice
        G               D            C
You're a bad pain in my gut I wanna spit 
       G
you out
             D         G
Open up this wound again let my blood flow 
D           G
red and thin
          D        G         D        G
Into the glistening into the whiteness
          D                   C     G
Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
