                    A#m7
Seems you've been changing lately
                G#               D#m
I can feel the distance in your touch
             A#m7
There's two people in this hallway
            G#          D#m
But there's only one of us
        A#m7
That's tryna keep this fire going
  G#               D#m
Should I just give up?
          A#m7
I sense trouble on the horizon
      F7
I'm afraid our time is up

Chorus:
      A#m7                              G#      D#m
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
      A#m7                        G#            D#m
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
  A#m7                           G#             D#m
That in these conditions, tryna bring back the flame is like
A#m7           G#           D#m
Tryna light a match in the rain
         A#m7                               G#       D#m
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
       A#m7                        G#           D#m
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
  A#m7                           G#             D#m
That in these conditions tryna bring back the flame is like
A#m7           G#           D#m
Tryna light a match in the rain

Yeah, I can taste it, it's the end
This love's impossible to save
Though you embrace it, I can't face it
So I look the other way
There's trouble in your eyes
But I pretend that we're okay
I wish that we could compromise
But there's just nothin' left to say

Chorus

 A#m7
Tryna light a match in the rain
       G#                   D#m
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane
      A#m7
Like ridin' a bike with no air or chain
      G#                   D#m
On a broken road, it's a losing game
  A#m7
Tryna light a match in the rain
      G#                   D#m
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane
       A#m7
Like rdin' a bike with no air or chain
       F7
On a broken road, it's a losing game

Chorus
