No disrespect intended towards previous uploaders, there has been some good
transcriptions in standard tuning, but this one is in Open D5D5 tuning with a capo
on 3rd fret like Patty plays it.
So if you are looking for an easier version in standard tuning, either read the
text in the bottom of this page for mine, or use one of the previous four versions
here which are good too.
But if you do wanna play it like this, I highly recommend that you watch the
tutorial too, since there is alot of plucking and strumming going on that would be
hard to explain in text here.

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart, beating close to mine
Gsus2Gsus2  Asus4Asus4      Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4 Gsus2Gsus2        Asus4Asus4
Pounding up against the stone and steel, walls that I won't climb
Gsus2Gsus2   Asus4Asus4    Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4 Gsus2Gsus2     Asus4Asus4     Bm7Bm7 Asus4Asus4
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep, you think that you're gonna drown
Gsus2Gsus2    Asus4Asus4     Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2     Asus4Asus4
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep, with all this rain falling down

Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2  D5D5 Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2    D5D5
Strange how hard it rains now, rows and rows of big dark clouds
     Bm7Bm7  Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2     D5D5  Bm7Bm7 Asus4Asus4 Gsus2Gsus2
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud, rain

Gsus2Gsus2    Asus4Asus4      Bm7Bm7  Asus4Asus4 Gsus2Gsus2      Asus4Asus4      Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4
It's hard to know when to give up the fight, some things you want will just never be right
Gsus2Gsus2   Asus4Asus4      B minorBm Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2 Asus4Asus4
It's never rained like it has tonight before
Gsus2Gsus2 Asus4Asus4    Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4 Gsus2Gsus2    Asus4Asus4      Bm7Bm7 Asus4Asus4
Now I don't wanna beg you baby, for something maybe you could never give
Gsus2Gsus2 Asus4Asus4        Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4   Gsus2Gsus2      Asus4Asus4
I'm not looking for the rest of your life, I just want another chance to live

Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2  D5D5 Bm7Bm7   Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2    D5D5
Strange how hard it rains now, rows and rows of big dark clouds
     Bm7Bm7  Asus4Asus4  Gsus2Gsus2     D5D5  Bm7Bm7 Asus4Asus4 Gsus2Gsus2
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud, rain

Free papers for this song are available in .pdf on my website, you can find the
link in the description on the YouTube tutorial.
Among the papers available are Lyrics & Chords, Lyrics & Chords plus (with added
numbers of strumming pattern rounds per chord), Chord Diagrams, Tablature (on some
parts) and Playing Patterns (strumming).
I also have a Easy version with Standard tuning available if you think this way of
playing is too hard, I of course also show this in the tutorial.
If you need further help or explanations don't hesitate to ask, if it's a subject
where other people may benefit from the answer it's best done by posting a comment
on the tutorial, but posts here and personal messages will also be answered (though not as fast)!
