[Am]
[C] [Am]
[C] [Am] The
[Am] [C]
sky is [Am] crying, the streets are full of tears
[G]
Rain come down, [Am] wash away my [Em] fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can't read [Am] between your [A] hands
[C] [G] [C]
Rain [Am] come down, forgive this dirty town
[C]
Rain come down, [Am] give this dirty town [Em] a drink of water
A [Am] drink of wine
[G]
[Am] If I've been [F] hard on you, I'd never told you
[G]
[Am] I never wanted [F] no one either
[G]
[Am] I tried my best to [Em] be somebody you'd be close [F] to
And yet, man, I [G] let your love take hold of me
As you'd sleep, [Am] I'd think my [A] heart would break in two
If I'd [C] kiss your [G] cheek, [Am] I'd stop [C] myself from waking you
[Em] But in the darkest of mornings, say, baby, [Am] what's wrong?
[C]
[G] [C] Oh, here I am, [Am] I'm [C] coming back tomorrow
I'm like a wave that's [Am] got to roll into the shore
[Em] Yes, and if my love's in vain, I come to love you [Am] so
[G] [Am] If I've been [F] hard on you, I'd never [G] told you
I [Am] never [F] wanted no one either
[G] And [Am] I tried my [Em] best to be [Am] somebody you'd be [F] close to
[Dm] And yet, [G] man, like love, we're not supposed to
[D] Supposed to do
[C] [F]
[G]
[C] Now you and me go [Am] parallel, together [C] in a ball
And you keep your perfect [Am] distance, and it's tearing [C] at my heart
[Em]
But you never feel the distance, you never try to [Am] cross the line
[C] [G] [C] Cause it's another dirty river, [Am] and another dirty scar
[C]
And I don't know who's kissing [Am] you, and I don't know where you [Em] are so far from home
Don't you [Am] think of me sometimes
[G]
[Am] If I've been [F] hard on you, I'd never told you
[G]
[Am] I never [F] wanted no one either
And [G]
[Am] I tried my [Em] best to be [Am] somebody you'd be close [F] to
And yet, man, [G] like love, we're not supposed to
[Am] If I've been [F] hard on you, I'd never told you
[G] I never [F] wanted no one either
And I tried my best to [Em] be somebody you'd be close [F] to
And yet, man, [G] like love, we're not supposed to
[C]
[Am] [C]
[Am] Well, [C] the sky is [Am] crying, see the streets are full of tears
[C] Rain come [Am] down, wash away my fears
[Em] And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can't read [Am] between the lines
