A                             C#m
Don’t you know it’s gonna rain
Em                      D/F#
All the things I said I do
Dm
I didn’t fix them, did I?
A     C#m  Em                   D/F#
On a plane, I don’t want to go away
Dm
I couldn’t help it, could I?

Chorus:
A          C#m              Em
I don’t want to drag you down
C#m
I’m just gonna shelter you
A            C#m
Keep you warm, safe and sound
      Em                             D
It’s not like you to listen to the crowd
      Dm
It’s just this dirty town

It goes on and on for days
From the gutter, we see stars
I didn’t stop that, did I?
When the pain
We get better just to find the same again
I couldn’t help it, could I?

Chorus:
I don’t want to drag you down
I just gonna shelter you
Keep you warm, safe and sound
It’s not like you to use your eyes like that on me
Don’t listen to the crowd

Dm           A
Don’t break me - x4
