Listen to the song for the rhythm, because the chord changes
aren't precise. It's fairly simple, you'll be able figure most
of it out.
D O I never asked to be your mountain C I never asked to fly D Remember when you came to me C And told me of his lies D You didn't understand my love C You don't know why I try D And the rain was falling on that day C And damn the reason why D The Flying Pisces sails for time C And tells me of my child D Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache C He begs for just a smile D O he never asked to be her mountain C He never asked to fly D And through his eye he comes his love C And tells her not to cry D She says, "Your scoundrel father flies C With a dancer called a queen D And with her stolen cards he plays C And laughs, but never wins D O the child dreams to be his hands C In the counting of the rain D But only barren breasts he feels C For her milk will never drain G F As I die I can't remember G F Where I saw the rain G Could it be that her laughter F Drove me down again? G Charming dancer will you stop, F Stop and talk to me? G Is there someone else you feel F In your dreams? you will, you see: G In midnight gazes F I've found you far from me G If you lead me on F Please leave me down G O Flying Flying Fish F Please flutter by my door G Yes you can drink my lies F If first you read my eyes: G Each one is titled F "I'm drowning back to you"; G I can't swim your waters F And you can't walk my lands: G I'm sailing all my sins F And I'm climbing all my fears D C D C And soon now I'll fly D O I never asked to be your mountain C I never asked to fly D Remember when you came to me C And told me of his lies D You didn't understand my love C You don't know why I try D And the rain was falling on that day C And that's the reason why D Sweet lover, will you come back C And love me for a while? D Please take my hand C Leave all your fears behind D I've been gone too long C Now I'm home to stay D Please don't leave me C Again this way D C Don't leave me again this way... D C D Sweet lover....O please... C D C D O please....O please...please.... please come home... C Please come home...
