Intro G6 C D x 2 
 
           G                         C                 D 
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand 
               G                      C              D 
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand 
       C                D           G   G/F#      C/E 
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three 
                                  D 
And I can't find my own among the directions they're all going 
            G                C                 D 
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness 
       G               C                D 
It's alright take this rain as your new address 
       C               D           C               D 
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain 
                 G                   C               D 
'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind 
          G                         C                 D 
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time 
      C             D               G   G/F#       C/E 
Going crazier every day watching our love slipping away 
                                                     D 
'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted and the only light I've known 
                G                C                 D 
But baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness 
       G               C                D 
It's alright take this rain as your new address 
       C               D           C               D 
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain 
                   G 
You're going to be free
