Nobody's Listenin'
(Ronnie Lane)

 

     

        A
It's a small, bad world

 

                 C                                                G
When your first true breath's your last

 

                     A
And there's a tooth and nail

 

                  C                              G
Down every alley or maybe valley that you pass

 

            A
But the lies come first

 

              C                                         G
And the truth will always come home last

 

        A                     C
And all your future's tied up in your past

 

G                                                    A                               C
You must have heard about the boy when he cried wolf

                        G

He cried wolf once too long

                                                  A

But the last time that they heard him he told the truth

 

        C                         G
The last time nobody came

 

                          A           C                 G
'Cause there was nobody listening anymore

                      A            C                 G
No, there was nobody listening anymore

 

                                                  A
You must have heard of Mr. Pilot

                                   C
He washed his hands

                                               G
He washed his hands the best he could

                                                              A  
After he stood up on his soap box and he told the land

C                                           G  
"I can't see nothing wrong"

                           A             C               G
'Cause there was nobody listening anymore

                     A             C                 G
No there was no...

                     A             C                 G

A                  C                         G
Ain't nobody heard nobody

A                  C                         G
Ain't nobody  no  nobody

I can count them on my fingers

A
One by one

C                                     G
One by one down they go

                                           A
All these hard luck stories

                     C
Oh man, oh man   

                                   G
I've got problems of my own

                             A             C                 G
'Cause there ain't nobody listening anymore

                             A             C                 G
'Cause there ain't nobody listening anymore

                             A             C                 G
'Cause there ain't nobody listening anymore
