No Bad News

Bonnie Prince Billy

 Em
 Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore
 D
Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor
 Em
 Lonely ain't lonely, someone calling at the door
 DEm
Someone lovely and she's bringing bad news

 Em
 She clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs
 D
Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs
 Em
 And showing such fear at being found unawares
 DEm
To be here and be bringing bad news

(Chorus)
 DEm
Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go
 DEm
Bad themselves, that's how awful it is
 DEm
 Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
 DEm
And she had to bring here this

Well, she's told, « Hold your buttons and look at the sky
Someone will fix things if you let your face dry
Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high
And you may transcend the bad news »

(Chorus)

 DEm
For all hammers and nails
 DEm
For all leaves and winds
 AmB7
For all love ambitions
 FEDAm
And enemies and friends     

She shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go
She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow
And her voice it decays and before it does she goes,
« I will never again deliver bad news »

(Chorus)

 B
 Mm, hey little bird – hey little bird
 F#F#7
Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
Hey little bird – hey little bird
Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
(Hey little bird – hey little bird)
Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)
