C           G         F
It's bad timeing and me

           G                          C
We find a lot of things out this way

       G
And there's you

           F                  G
A little black cloud in a dress

C          G
The temptation

                Am           F
To take the precious things we have a part

     C             G    C
To see how they work

            G                          Am          F   C
Must be resisted for they never fit together again

G                       Am
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me

G                     Am           G
If these are tears let them fall

                     C       G   Am
Must I paint you a picture

                    C       G   Am
About the way that I feel

                              C          Am   G
You know that my love for you is strong girl

                              C      Am   G
You know that my love for you is real

C            G               F
It took a short walk and a talk

                G                 C
To change the rules of engagement

               G                      F       G
While you searched frantically for reverse

C           G
And then claiming

        Am           F           C         A
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all

C      G                Am
And so I lost my ignorance

F-G                                  Am
   And now the bells across the river chime out your name

G                      Am    G
I look across to them again     (chorus)

Em                            C
All your friends sais come down
It will never fly
                F
And on that imperfect day

              G
We threw it all away

 Em                   Am
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity

F                                   G
This would never happen if we lived by the sea

C        G                       F
Most important decisions in life

               G                   C
Are made between two people in bed

          G                  F   G
I found that at my own expense

C            G
And when I see you

           Am             F             C         G      C
You juts turn around and walk away like we never met

   G                  Am      F
Oh we used to be so brave

G                             Am                      G
I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill

                       Am                            G
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still  (chorus)
