Note: This is a guitar chord chart for a song that only uses a piano.
As such, the chords fragments don't always appear to completely form
all the same chords from one verse to the next or one chorus to the next.
I wouldn't use a capo because you do need to move up and down the neck
to get the best approximation of the piano. You'll need to listen as
to when to play the chords up the neck and when to play them closer to the nut.
In particular, the Dm7 and Cm7 need to be played at the 10th and 8th fret
and you can probably leave out some of the bottom 3 strings.
[Intro]
Dm7 Bb Cm7 Gm Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
GmJill, it's Amanda, just waving from London
I Bbknow that you're going tomorrow, the hardest decision
Eb Bb And I've Gmbeen on the side of the phone for a month
And I Bbknow you're in hell and you know that I know what you're feeling
Eb Bb FLife's such a Bbbitch, isn't it?
Eb When you Fhave a Bbbaby, they Fthrow you a Bbparty
FAnd then when you Bbdie they Fget together fBbor a Ebcry
[Chorus]
FBut ... Bbno one's gonna celebrate you
GmNo one's gonna bring you cake
And Fno one's gonna shower you with Ebflowers
The Bbdoctor won't congratulate you
GmNo one on that pavement's gonna
FShout at you that your heart also Ebmatters
[Interlude]
Dm7 Bb Cm7 Gm Bb Eb Bb
[Verse 2]
I'm not Gmsure that you'll get this in time
I don't know if you're Bbchecking your voicemail at all
But in case it's the Ebmorning Bb
And you're Gmoff at the green line and walking through Copley
I Bbwant you to stop for a second, I want you to Eblisten
Bb You dGmon't need to offer the right explanation
You Bbdon't need to beg for redemption or ask for fEborgiveness
Bb And you dGmon't need a courtroom inside of your head
Where you're Bbacting as judge and accused and defendant and Ebwitness
[Bridge]
Bb It's a Fstrange Bbgrief but it's Ebgrief
FLook at all the Bbwomen in the streEbet
FYou know the staBbtistics, EbJill
BbEven though they may not Ebhelp
Isn't it BbamazFing
How we can Bbnever Ebtell
FWho is in an Gmidentical Ebhell
[Interlude]
Eb Bb Gm F Eb
[Chorus]
BbNo one's gonna celebrate you
GmNo one's gonna bring you Bbcake
And Fno one's gonna shower you with BbfloweEbrs
The Bbdoctor won't congratulate you
GmNo one on that pavement's gonna
FShout at you that your heart also BbmatEbters
[Chorus]
BbNo one's gonna compliment you
GmNo one's gonna nod their head
And Fwink in league with what you are pursEbuing
BbNo one's gonna tie surprise ballGmoons onto your desk at work
And Fno one's gonna ask you how you're Ebdoing
[Outro]
FBut ... GmI'll be back Fin Boston Ebby next Thursday
FWhy don't I come BboveEbr?
FI can bring Ebsome friends if Fyou want us to come Eb
FWe can bring you Bbcake and Fwe can bring you BbflowersEb
FWe can bring you Bbwine and Fwe can talk for Bbhours Eb
