[Intro] (x2) C E Dm F [Verse 1]
         C              E
When it rains, yeah it rains

       Dm                     F
we can be so unforgiving, it leaves us unforgiven

           C              E
we're the same, we never change

         Dm                            F                         Bb
it's the reason we're together, just waiting for the weather to pass
[Chorus]
            F         C      Bb
I've been rolling my days away

                    F           C         Bb
can't turn out the light that keeps me awake

            G                    F
I've been trying to sleep for a while

             Dm            Am                     
there'll be nothing left to talk about

     Bb              F
and no one left to hear.

       (F)
In a while,

            Dm            Am
We'll pour water on these ashes and

     Bb              F
the walls will disappear

        C  A
for a while

            Dm            C           G   Bb F
We've been caught in the cold light of day
[Verse 2]
           C               E
Lost our love, you put it down

     Dm                         F
somewhere for safekeeping, so safe you don't remember

           C                E
but it's okay, we'll make some more 

      Dm                                  F                                 Bb
it's you that i'll be needing, not these books that we've been reading too long
[Chorus]
