Intro: / Cadd9 - - - / Asus4 - - - / x4
Cadd9 Asus4
The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
Cadd9 Asus4
Rain come down and wash away my fears and all this
Em (2)
writing on the wall oh I can read between the
Am / C - (G) - /
lines
C Am
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
C Am
Rain come down and give this dirty town a drink of
Em (2)
water A drink of
Am / - - - C /
wine
Chorus:
G (1/2) (Am) (1/2) F
If I been hard on you I never chose to be
G (1/2) (Am) (1/2) F
I never wanted no one else
G (1/2) (Am) (1/2) / Em - Am G /
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
F (walkdown) G (2)
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Cadd9 Asus4
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
Cadd9 Asus4
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you
Em (2)
But in the dark you'd speak my name You'd say baby what's
Am / C - (G) - /
wrong
C Am
Oh, here I am baby I'm coming back for more
C Am
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Em (2)
Yes and if my love's in vain How come my love is so
Am / - - - C /

Cadd9 Asus4
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
Cadd9 Asus4
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Em (2)
Did you never feel the distance Did you never try to cross
Am / C - (G) - /
the line
C Am
'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
C Am
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
Em (2)
So far from home Don’t you think of
Am / - - - C /
me sometime

Rain come down and wash away my fears and all this
Em (2)
writing on the wall oh I can read between the
Am (3)
lines
End on Am
