C                      Am
 The sky is crying the streets are full of tears 

C                   Am
 Rain come down and wash away my fears 

             Em 
And all this writing on the wall 

Em                         Am       C G/D G
 Oh I can read between the lines    (LINK)
[Verse 2]
C                  Am 
 Rain come down forgive this dirty town 

C                   Am  
 Rain come down and give this dirty town 

           Em
A drink of water

           Am  | Am     C |
A drink of wine 
[Chorus]
G          Am          F 
 If I been hard on you, I never chose to be 

G        Am             F 
 I never wanted no one else 

G           Am             Em            Am    G
 I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to

Hand in  hand like lovers are supposed to 
[Verse 3]
         C                  Am 
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two

              C                Am 
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you

           Em
But in the dark you'd speak my name

Em                     Am       C G/D G
 You'd say baby what's wrong ? (LINK)
[Verse 4]
    C                  Am 
Oh, here I am baby I'm coming back for more

           C                  Am 
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore

        Em
Yes and if my love's in vain 

                       Am  | Am     C |
How come my love is so strong ?

    C                        Am 
Now you and me go parallel together and apart

        C                                   Am 
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart

        Em
Did you never feel the distance

Em                              Am       C G/D G
 Did you never try to cross the line    (LINK)
[Verse 6]
             C                       Am 
'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar

    C                                    Am 
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are

   Em
So far from home 

                   Am   | Am     C |
Don't you think of me sometime
[Chorus]
G          Am          F
