Looking out the door, I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners

Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water

And much too blind to see the damage he's done.  Sometimes a man must awake

                           Em  Em9  Em7  Ddim/F
To find that, really, he has no one
[Chorus 1]

over,      'cause it's not too late                      Mmm...
[Verse 2]

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in

   D*            D*            D*           D         C      Em9    Em  Em7  Em
Bu-urning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him

C#m7b5      F#7+5               Bm             D Dsus4 D/A    G6  Ddim/Ab

           D/A*  D/A*   D/A*          D     C      Em9    Em  Em7  Em
It's never over,     my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

           D/A*         D/A*           D/A*          D        C     Em9       Em  Em7
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her

           D/A*  D/A*      D/A*          D         C      Em9     Em  Em7
It's never over,    all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter

           D/A*  D/A*         D/A*              D       C      Em9  Em  Em7
It's never over,    she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

C#m7b5                       F#7+5     Bm          D Dsus4 D/A     G     Gm6
  Oh, but maybe I'm just too young to keep good love from    going wrong
[Chorus 2]

Yes, I, I feel too young to hold on.  I'm much too old to break free and run;

    Aadd9/C#                               Cmaj7     Bmadd11
Too deaf, dumb and blind to see the damage I've done

      Aadd9/C#  G6/B  Aadd9         F#5  Em  Em9  Em7                 Em
Sweet lover,     you, you should've come over.     Oh love, well I've waited for you
[Chorus 4] (ad lib)
D/F#      Gm6             Aadd9                       G6/B
  Lover; lover, lover; lover, love, love; love, love, love, love!
