F#    F#/F         F#
Cold hands, white light
       F#/F                D#m
Yellow lamps on blackened skies
        C#                   D#m
Duffel hoods and deep brown eyes
                C#/F                      F#
I'll sing you a song that I think you'll like

And we'll walk to places we always go
A million faces I don't know
I'll say the words you'd always hope
Set our hearts on racing even though

Chorus:
B
I know what you told me
G#m7
I know that it's all over
    D#m
And I know I can't keep calling
C#
Every time I run, yea
B
I know what you told me
G#m7
I know that it's all over
   D#m
And I know I can't keep calling
C#
Every time I run, yea
                     F#
I keep on falling on you

On the way you stand, on the way you sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
The little lines that write your face
Or the winter nights you'd come and stay

Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way I yearn, the way I cry
The way our love rolls with the tides
But we know we'll make up every time

Chorus:
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yea
I keep on falling on you
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run, yea
I keep on falling on you

G#m C# D#m
Oh  oh  oh
              C#/F                      B
Oh won't you bring me all the things I need
G#m C# D#m
Oh  oh  oh
              C#/F              B
Like falling rain to a rolling sea
G#m C# D#m
Oh  oh  oh
              C#/F                      B G#m C#
Oh won't you bring me all the things I need

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling

Chorus:
And I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yea
I keep on falling
And I know what you told me
Yea, I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run, yea
I keep on falling on you
