[D] I'm dropping [Bb] the ocean, [F]
a change [C] in the weather
I was [Dm] praying that [Bb] you and me [F] might end up [C] together
It's [Dm] like a wishing [Bb] for rain as [F] I stand in the [C] desert
[D] But I'm holding you [Bb] closer [F]
than most
[C] Cause you are [Bb] my heaven
[F] I [C] [Dm]
[Bb] [F] [C]
[Bb] don't wanna waste [F] the weekend
[C] If you [Dm] don't love me, pretend
[Bb]
A few more [F] hours, then [C] it's time to go
And as [Bb] my train rolls [F] down the east [C] coast
I wonder [Dm] how you keep warm
[Bb] It's too late to cry, [F] too broken [C] to move on
And [Gm] still I [F] can't let you [C] be
[Gm] [F] Most [C] nights I hardly [Gm] sleep
[F] Don't take [C] what you don't [Bb] need from me

[Bb] [F] [C]
[Bb] Misplaced [F] trust and old [C] friends
Never [Dm] counting regrets
[Bb] By the grace of [F] God, I do not [C] arrest at all
[Bb] And New England as [F] the leaves [C] change
The last excuse [Dm] that I'll claim
[Bb] I was a boy who [F] loved a woman [C] like a little girl
[Gm] And still I can't [F] let [C] you be
[Gm]
[F] Most nights [C] I hardly [Gm] sleep
