Am                     C
You shatter me, your grip on me
    Am            C
A hold on me so dull it kills
      Am          C
You stifle me, infectious sense
    Am                C
Of hopelessness and prayers for rain

I suffocate, I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines but desolate and drab
The hours all spent on killing time again
All waiting for the rain

Chorus:
     Am                C
You fracture me, your hands on me
   Am                  C
A touch so plain, so stale it kills
      Am            C
You strangle me, entangle me
    Am                C
In hopelessness and prayers for rain

I deteriorate, I live in dirt
And nowhere glows but drearily and tired
The hours all spent on killing time again
All waiting for the rain

Chorus:
You fracture me, your hands on me
A touch so plain, so stale it kills
You strangle me, entangle me
In hopelessness and prayers for rain

Prayers for rain
Prayers for rain
Prayers for rain
