D#                      G#
I've searched the holy books
D#                    G#
Tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ,
     D#     G#  D#  G#
the saviour
I've read the poets and the analysts
Searched through the books on human behaviour

Chorus:
A#                     G#
I travelled the whole world around
A#     G#            Gm   Fm
For an answer that refused to be found
                                   A#
I don't know why and I don't know how
          G# A#     D#     G# D# G#
But she's nobody's baby now

I loved her then, and I guess I love her still
Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in
She lives in my blood and skin
Her wild feral stare, her dark hair
Her winter lips, as cold as stone
Yeah, I was her man

Chorus:
But there are some things even love won't allow
I held her hand but I don't hold it now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now

This is her dress that I loved best
With the blue quilted violets across the breast
And these are my many letters
Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand
I was her cruel hearted man

Chorus:
And though I've tried to lay her ghost down
She's moving through me, even now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
