Em7                    A7
Whenever it's a rainy day
G                     Em7
I pack my troubles up in my room
Em7                      A7
I chase all the clouds away
Fmaj7                     B
I get myself back to the womb

Chorus:
       Em               Am
But I know that you're gonna cry
 Bm                Am
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
     Em          Am
The piece of my life you take
   Bm          Am
Is one that so often breaks

Whenever you are miles away
I think of you the way you are
Your shining lips, your auburn hair
And then it don't seem quite so far

Chorus:
Well I know that you're gonna cry
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
The piece of my life you take
Is one that so often breaks

Well I know that you're gonna cry
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
The piece of my life you take
Is one that so often breaks
