Intro G5 C5 D5 x 2 
 
           G5                         C5                 D5 
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand 
               G5                      C5              D5 
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand 
       C5                D5           G5   G5      C5 
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three 
                                  D5 
And I can't find my own among the directions they're all going 
            G5                C5                 D5 
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness 
       G5               C5                D5 
It's alright take this rain as your new address 
       C5               D5           C5               D5 
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain 
                 G5                   C5               D5 
'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind 
          G5                         C5                 D5 
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time 
      C5             D5               G5   G5       C5 
Going crazier every day watching our love slipping away 
                                                     D5 
'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted and the only light I've known 
                G5                C5                 D5 
But baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness 
       G5               C5                D5 
It's alright take this rain as your new address 
       C5               D5           C5               D5 
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain 
                   G5 
You're going to be free
