B
The drops of rain
              G#m F#/A#
they fall all over
B
This awkward silence
         G#m  F#/A#
makes me crazy
B
The glow inside burns
       G#m    F#/A#
light upon her
B
I'll try to kiss
           G#m   F#/A#
you if you let me
E
(This can't
be the end)

G#m              F#/A#
Tidal waves they rip
right through me
B
Tears from eyes
     F#
worn cold and sad
G#m
Pick me up now
  F#/A#
I need you so bad

Chorus:
B
Down down down down
E
Down down down down
G#m
Down down down down
E
Down down down down
(It gets me so)
B
Down down down down
E
Down down down down
G#m
Down down down down
E
Down down down down
(It gets me so)

Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
You did this

Tidal waves, they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad

Chorus
