Verse:
C                      Am
 The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
C                   Am
 Rain come down and wash away my fears
             Em
And all this writing on the wall
                                    1 + 2 + 3 + 4
Em                         Am       C     G
 Oh I can read between the lines


Verse:
C                  Am
 Rain come down forgive this dirty town
C                   Am
 Rain come down and give this dirty town
           Em
A drink of water
           Am  | Am     C |
A drink of wine


Chorus:
G          Am          F
 If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
G        Am             F
 I never wanted no one else
G           Am             Em            Am    G
 I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to

Hand in  hand like lovers are supposed to

Verse:
         C                  Am
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
              C                Am
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you
           Em
But in the dark you'd speak my name
                               1 + 2 + 3 + 4
Em                    Am       C     G
You'd say baby what's wrong ?


Verse:
    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
Yes and if my love's in vain
                       Am  | Am     C |
How come my love is so strong ?


Chorus:
G          Am          F

 I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to

Verse:
    C                        Am
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
        C                                   Am
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
        Em
Did you never feel the distance
Em                              Am       C G/D G
 Did you never try to cross the line


Verse:
             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
So far from home
                   Am   | Am     C |
Don’t you think of me sometime
