        G        Bm          G7          Am7         D7     G
Can you hear the floorboards crying in a room on the second floor

     G          Bm       Em
That used to be owned by someone who's no one

       F          Cmaj7    Am7 D
But he don't live there anymore

       Fmaj9              Em
Only Rebecca clasping her head in her knees

Fmaj9              Em                       Bm             Em   G7/D Cmaj7 D7sus2
Trying to work out what it's about, and why someone had to leave
[Chorus]
    D7          G                        G7
But dry up your tears, stop counting the years

                   Cmaj7                   Am7  D
Don't worry what's coming, forget all your fears

        Fmaj9     Cmaj7 G/B      E
And the tide will turn     for Rebecca

        Fmaj9     Cmaj7 G/B      E
And the tide will turn     for Rebecca

              Cmaj7                 A7
Her life will change, her hopes rearrange

     Bm                   C   D  G     F Em C D7sus4
Into something that might really matter
[Verse 2]
      G    Bm        G7                      Am7      D7              G
She's all alone in a world of her own with a key that fits her lonely world

    G            Bm       Em
You won't need a crowd to shout out aloud

         F      Cmaj7        Am7  D
What she says deserves to be heard

       Fmaj9              Em
Only Rebecca clasping her head in her knees

Fmaj9              Em                      Bm             Em   G7/D Cmaj7 D7sus2
Trying to work out what it's about and why someone had to leave
[Chorus]
    D7          G                        G7
But dry up your tears, stop counting the years

                   Cmaj7                   Am7  D
Don't worry what's coming, forget all your fears

        Fmaj9     Cmaj7 G/B      E
And the tide will turn     for Rebecca

        Fmaj9     Cmaj7 G/B      E
And the tide will turn     for Rebecca

              Cmaj7                 A7
Her life will change, her hopes rearrange

     Bm                   C   D7sus2 D7 G     F Em C/G D7sus4 D Dadd11
Into something that might really        matter
