Hole – Nobody’s Daughter – Letter to God
Tuning: Half step down (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
Opening and Verses:
Am G
Dear god I'm writing this letter to you
Dm
Cause I don't have a clue
Am
Can you help me?
I'm sitting here
Simply trying to figure out
What my life's all about it
Can you tell me?
Choruses:
C Bb
I never wanted to be
F
The person you see
C
Can you tell me who I am?
I always wanted to die
But you kept me here alive
Can you tell me who I am?
Same as the first verse:
I lie awake conducting this symphony,
That you have gifted to me,
but I can't ever sleep
Don't get mad
But I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart
Cause I feel nothing
Same as first Chorus:
I never wanted to be
Some kind of comic relief
Please show me who I am
I been tortured and scorned
Since the day that I was born
But I don't know who I am
Bridge:
Bb F C
And I thank you man for everything
Bb C
Sorry I'm so frightened about all of it
C
Oh I wish I could give you more
Bb F C
and all the lights are shining down on me
Ab F C
And I feel intimidated by it all
Bb F C
Same as other Chours until the end:
I never wanted to be
The person you see but thank you
Oh god please tell me now
Are you disappointed? are you proud?
Haven't I done everything?
I'm so sorry I'm so weak
And I turned into a freak
But I don't know anything
I've lost all self-esteem!
By burying everything!
And I feel nothing!
Oh God please tell me now
Oh God please tell me now
Cause I feel nothing!
Oh dear god I'm writing this letter to you
I am coming unglued
Please help me
