B|--5---(5)--(5)---7--|
G|--5---(5)--(5)---7--|
D|--7---(7)--(5)---7--|
A|--7---(5)--(5)---5--|
E|--5----7----8-------|
The notes are played on each successive down strum.
Intro:  Em-  Amx4
(With) every sweet hEmello
there's a biBmtter good bDyeAm  
With every happy sEmong
there's the Bmone to make you cDryAm  
With every traveled rEmoad
there's a cuBmrse that wont dDieAm  
I know you're not the only Emone
                         Bm  D(bar)         Am(bar)
you're the only one with a knife
Still you sing "here's one
                     D(bar)
here's one for the valley
                     Bm(bar)
here's one for your family"
                     Am(bar)
there's never one for me
Still you sing "here's one
                   D(bar)
here's one for the tree
                     Bm(bar)
where your heart is buried"
                     Am(bar)
there's never one for me
there's never one for EmmeBm  D  Am  
Longing, the aloEmne
with a fBmall from a heigDhtAm  
And now you've come and gEmone
must the wBmhole of europe dDieAm  
We know that you inherit lEmight
but for Bmwho does it shiDneAm  
Oh 'cause now I've lost the riEmght
               Bm  D(bar)      Am(bar)
to consider you mine
Still you sing "here's one
                     D(bar)
here's one for the valley
                     Bm(bar)
here's one for your family"
                      Am(bar)
there's never one for me
and here I'm left to sing
                      D(bar)
oh you kissed so damn easy
                        Bm(bar)
did you show it just to tease me
                 Am(bar)
the sweetest treachery
                           D(bar)
there's never one for me
                         Bm(bar)      Am(bar)
oh, there's never one for me
                           D(bar)
there's never one for me
                            Bm(bar)    Am(bar)   Em  
there's never, never one for me
