1st Verse: With Riff 1 (4x)
"I wipe the night from my eyes
Block out that sunny day and I hide
And everything's falling down around us
I'm just missing the rain
And I'm happier now today
Don't let me down, don't let me go
A change of seasons inside her mind
In time I'll decide, in time I'll decide to move on"
Pre-Chorus: Riff 2

3rd Verse: With Riff 1 (2x)
"Somehow we'll find a way
We'll paste it back together
These ripped out pages of old coloring books where your
Gold is silver, my blue is gray
It's all held together by cellophane tape but we"
-Play Pre-Chorus with Riff 2
-Play chorus
Outro: (With chords, and distortion)
F5(2) G#5
In my head I've got everything I want
F5(2) G#5
In my head I've got everything I want
F5(2) G#5
In my head I've got everything I want
F5(2) G#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 F5(2)
In my head I've got everything I want in you
And that's. This really is a great song, it's a shame it never got the recognition it deserved.
