_ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ [E] It's bad timing, [Em] _
Anne and [F] me, _ we find [G] a lot of things out [C] this way.
_ And [E] [Em] there's you, [F] a little black cloud [G] in a dress. _
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] The temptation to [Am] take the precious things [F] we have apart, [C] to see [G] how they work,
[C] _ _ must be [Em] resisted for they never fit [Am] together _ [F] again. _
_ _ [G] If this is rain, let it [A] [F] fall on me and drown [G] me.
If these are tears, [Am] let them [F] fall.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _

[Am] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] Took a short walk and [F] you talked, to [G] change the rules of [C] engagement,
_ while [Em] you searched frantically for [F] reverse.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [B] _ [C] _ _ And [Em] then claiming _ [Am] that virtue [F] never tested is [C] no [G] virtue at all.
[C] _ _ And [Em] so I lost my [Am] ignorance.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] And now the bells across [Am] the river chime [F] out your [G] luck.
I look across at [Am] them [F] again.

And on [F] that one perfect day, _ _ we threw [Em] it all [G] away.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ Crisis after crisis, _ [Am] _ with such intensity.
_ _ [F] _ _ This would never happen, if [Em] we lived by the [G] sea.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Most [Em]
important decisions [F] in life, are [G] made between two people in [C] bed.
_ I [Em] found that out at my [F] expense.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] When I see you, you [Am] just turn [F] around and walk [C] away like we [G] never [C] met.
