verse
  G+G
I should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared.

          D MajorD
After all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare.

  G+G
But still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise,

       G+G
you brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise

chorus
D MajorD
Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea,

  C majorC
so I will stand in the rain until I am clean


  (play this on the second time through on the second chorus)

D MajorD
Rivers carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream,

  C majorC
so I will swim in the river as long as you need.


  G+G
We fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear,

   G+G
but I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year

  G+G
I need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins.

     G+G
I need to make a home for you before inviting you in

back to chorus x2

D MajorD
 G/Gb
  Darling oh my darling you know that everything that I do

   G+G
is to try and make me good enough for you

  D MajorD
 G/b
Darling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go,

     G+G
I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home.

("back home.....")
breakdown bit
  D MajorD
x2

  D MajorD
 G/Gb
Darling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go,

     G+G
