[Em] [C] [G]
[E] [C] [G]
[Em] [D] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
She's a drunk, I don't wink tonight
But [Am] she only whistles [B] up some [C] quiet [D] [G] conversation
[F#] She's coming out at 12 [E].30 [N] tonight
The [A] moonlit wings [G] reflect the stars that guide [C] me to [D] salvation
[G] [F#] I stopped [E] an old man along [N] the way
[Am] Hoping to [B] find some forgotten [C] words for ancient [D] melodies
[G]
[E] He turned [E] to me and said to stay
Hurry [Am] boys, it's raining
[Bm] [C] [A]
[Em] The sun is [C] taking our steps like [G] [F#m] [Em]
[C] [G] [D]
[Em] [C] [G] [F#m] [Em]
[C] conversations lost into [G] the things we [D] never had
[Em] [D] [C] [G]
[E] [D] [C] [G]
The wild dogs cry out in night
As they [A] growl at this [G] folesome [C] solidary [D] company
[G] [F#] I know that [E] I'm lost in one's eyes
So it's [Am] killing [G] time, rising [C] up of the
[D] [A] serenades
[G] [E] I [F#] seek to [E] kill what's deep inside
Right [Am] inside [B] of me
Come [C]
[Em] on, it's gonna [C] take a long time
[G]
[F#m] [Em] [C] [G]
[D] [Em] I [C] bless the rain, [G] say it
[F#m] [Em] Gonna [C] take some time to [G] do the things we [D] never had
[G]
[C] Oh, [E] [G]
[C] [G]
[Em] [Am] [G]
[C] [D] [G]
[Em] [Am] oh, oh
[G]
[C] [D] Hurry boys,
[Em] it's [C] gonna take a long time
[G] Take me on, [D] [Em] [C] there's nothing now
[G]
[D] [Em] [N] I bless the rain, shout it [Am] out
I [Em] [C] bless the rain, [G] shout it [F#m] [Em] [C] [G]
[F#m] [Em] [C] [G]
[F#m] out
[Em] Gonna take [C] some time to [G] do the [D] things we never had
[Em] [D] [C]
