verse
   GI (320003@1)should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared.

                   Cadd9 (x32030@1)          DAfter (xx0232@1)all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare.

   GBut (320003@1)still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise,

              Cadd9 (x32030@1)                 D (xx0232@1)            Gyou (320003@1)brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise


chorus
Bm (x24432@1)  C (x32010@1)       Am (x02210@1)         DWeather (xx0232@1)wears the mountains right down into the sea,

   B7 (x21202@1)       Em (022000@1)       D (xx0232@1)  Cso (x32010@1)I will stand in the rain until I am clean

Bm (x24432@1)             C (x32010@1)        Am (x02210@1)                   DRivers (xx0232@1)carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream,

   B7 (x21202@1)                 Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)         Cso (x32010@1)I will swim in the river as long as you need.


   GWe (320003@1)fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear,

     Cadd9 (x32030@1)             D (xx0232@1)                     Gbut (320003@1)I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year

   GI (320003@1)need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins.

          Cadd9 (x32030@1)          D (xx0232@1)                    GI (320003@1)need to make a home for you before inviting you in
