Chorus:
         D
Doesn't matter,
doesn't matter if the rain comes down
            G
I'll find a reason,
find a reason if it can be found
                D
'Cos something happened,
something happened while I wasn't around
             G
It could be better,
could be better with the rain all around

D
You had no reason, no special reason
For saying what you said to her about me
She must believe you, really believe you
Or else she wouldn't have had anything
                G
to do with you now

I often wonder, just sit and wonder
Does everybody make the same mistakes too?
I may go under when I feel under
So don't you take advantage of the situation
I'm in

C  D#    A#        F       C     D#     A#
Forever breaking promises, it's little wonder
C  D#      A#     F        D#         A#      G
To mend a broken heart is heartache, heartache

Chorus

Here's a reminder, a small reminder
Of How things were before you came into view
It was together, being together
So don't believe anything you said makes
any difference at all

You had no reason, no special reason
For saying what you said to her about me
It was together, being together
So don't believe anything you said makes
any difference at all

Forever breaking promises, it's little wonder
To mend a broken heart is heartache, heartache

Chorus - x4
