[C] [Am]
[G] And [Am] all [Em] this writing on the wall Oh, I can't read [Am] between your [A] eyes
[C] [G]
Rain come [Am] down, oh give this dirty town [C] Rain come down, [Am] give this dirty town
A [Em] drink of water, a [Am] drink of wine
[G] [Am] If I've been [F] hard on you, I never chose to be [G] I [Am] never wanted [F] nobody else
[G] I [Am] tried my best [Em] to be somebody you'd be close [F] to And in the end, [G] like lovers I supported
As you'd sleep, [A] I'd think my heart would break in two I'd kiss [C] your cheek, [Am] I'd stop myself [C] from waking [Em] you
But in the dark you'd speak my name, say baby [Am] what's wrong
[C] [G] Oh, [C] here I am again, [Am]
I'm coming back [C] more, I'm like a wave
It's got to roll into the shore, [Em] yes, and if my love's in vain
I call my lover so [Am] strong
If [G] [Am] I've been [F] hard on you, I never chose to [G] be I [Am] never wanted [F]
nobody else
[G] And I [Am] tried my best to [Em] be somebody [Am] you'd be close [F] to And in the end, [G] like lovers I supported

Now [C] you and me go [Am] parallel, together and apart [C] And you keep your perfect [Am] distance
And it's tearing at [C] my heart, [Em] did you never feel the distance?
Did you never try to cross [Am] the line?
[C] [G] Cause [C] it's another dirty [A] river, [Am] and another dirty scar
[C] And I don't know who's kissing you, [Am] and I don't know where you are [Em] so far from home
But I don't care, here [Am] comes the sunshine
[G] [Am] If I've been hard on [F] you, I never chose [G] to be I never [F] wanted nobody else
[G]
And I [Am] tried my best to [Em] be somebody you'd be close to [C] And in the end, [G] like lovers I supported
If [Am] I've been hard [F] on you, I never chose to be [Am] I never [F] wanted nobody else
[G] [Am] And I tried my best to be somebody [G] you'd be close to [F] And in the end, like lovers I supported
[C] [Am]
[C] [Am] Well, [C] the sky is [Am] crying, the streets are full of tears
[C] The rain [Am] come down, wash away my [Em] fears And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can't read [Am] between the lines
