[Verse 1]
WEell he jumps in the taxi, G#mheaded for the sky
He's oAff to slay some demon oEr dragonfly
And Ehe looked at me, that G#mlong last time
ATurned away again and I waEved goodbye
BIn an envelope, inside his coat
Is a Achain I wore, arouEnd my throat
BAlong with, a note I wrote
Said "I lAove you but, I Bdon't ... even know why"
[Chorus]
But darling, I wEish you wellA  E  
On your way to the wiBshing well
Swinging off of those gaAtes of hell
But I can tBell how hard you're tEryingA  E  
Just have that seEcret hope
sometimes all we dBo is cope
Somewhere on the stAeepest slope
There'll be an enBdless rope
and nobody crEying.A  E  
[Verse 2]
EWell a long night turns into a G#mcouple long years
AOf me walkin' around, around tEhis trail of tears
EWhere the very loud voices oG#mf my own fears
AIs ringin' and ringin' Ein my ears
It sBays that love is long gone
Every mAove I make is aEll wrong
Says you nBever gave a damn for me
For aAnything, for aBnyoneB7  
[Chorus]
But darling, I wEish you wellA  E  
On your way to the wiBshing well
Swinging off of those gaAtes of hell
But I can tBell how hard you're tEryingA  E  
Just have that seEcret hope
sometimes all we dBo is cope
Somewhere on the stAeepest slope
There'll be an enBdless rope
and nobody crEying.A  E  
[Bridge]
May you dBream you are dreaming, in a wAarm soft bEed
And may the vBoices inside you that fiAll you with drEead
Make the Bsound of thousands of Aangels insteadE  
ToniBght where you might be laAying your hBeadB7  
[Chorus]
But darling, I wEish you wellA  E  
On your way to the wiBshing well
Swinging off of those gaAtes of hell
But I can tBell how hard you're tEryingA  E  
Just have that seEcret hope

G#m

[Verse 1]

E G#m

Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky

A E

He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly

E G#m

And he looked at me, that long last time

A E

Turned away again and I waved goodbye

In an envelope, inside his coat

A E

Is a chain I wore, around my throat

Along with, a note I wrote

A B

Said "I love you but, I don't ... even know why"

[Chorus]

E A E

But darling, I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off of those gates of hell

B E A E

But I can tell how hard you're trying

Just have that secret hope

sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

E A E

and nobody crying.

[Verse 2]

E G#m

Well a long night turns into a couple long years

A E

Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears

E G#m

Where the very loud voices of my own fears

A E

Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears

It says that love is long gone

A E

Every move I make is all wrong

Says you never gave a damn for me

A B B7

For anything, for anyone

[Chorus]

E A E

But darling, I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off of those gates of hell

B E A E

But I can tell how hard you're trying

Just have that secret hope

sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

E A E

and nobody crying.

[Bridge]

B A E

May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed

B A E

And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread

B A E

Make the sound of thousands of angels instead

B A B B7

Tonight where you might be laying your head

[Chorus]

E A E

But darling, I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off of those gates of hell

B E A E

But I can tell how hard you're trying

Just have that secret hope

sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

E A E

and nobody crying.

Nobody's crying
