Em            Dsus2/F#
Every time we do this
   G        Asus2
I fall for her
Em                    Dsus2/F#
Wave after wave after wave
     G       Asus2
It's all for her
Em                   Dsus2/F#
I know this can't be wrong I say
          G
and i'll lie to keep her happy
     Asus2
As long as I know that you
Em            Dsus2/F#
know today I belong
                 G
Right here with you
Asus2
Right here with you...

And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try put your hands in the sky
Surrender, remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye

Em          Bm
I've never been so
             C                 Asus2
Colourfully-see-through-head before
Em          Bm
I've never been so
             C               Asus2
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
Em         Bm                       C
And all I want is to keep it like this
            Asus2
You and me alone
          Em
A secret kiss
              Bm
And don't go home
         Cadd9
Don't go away
               Asus2
Don't let this end
        Em Dsus2/F# G Asus2
Please stay
               Em Dsus2/F# G Asus2
Not just for today

Em                       Bm           C      Asus2
Never never never never never let me go she says
Em                       Bm               C       Asus2
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
                  Em
But suddenly she slows
                      Bm
And looks down at my breaking face
C                Asus2
Why do you cry? What did I say?
          Em           Bm
But it's just rain I smile
C                    Asus2
Brushing my tears away...

Chorus:
Bm                    C
I wish I could just stop
               Dsus2                 Em
I know another moment will break my heart
         Bm
Too many tears
          C
Too many times
          Dsus2           Em
Too many years I've cried over you
         Asus2
Over you Over you

How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry? Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something we will always want

"Why, why, why are you letting me go?" she says
"I feel you pulling back, I feel you changing shape"
And just as I'm breaking free,
she hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky, surrenders it all

Chorus:
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears, too many times
Too many years I've cried for you

It's always the same, wake up in the rain
Head in pain, hung in shame
A different name, same old game, love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Away from home again
