Capo 3
D5 , E5 , G5 , D5 , D5 , E5 , D5

VERSE 1:
         E5     G5       D5           E5
Here I walk, an empty shell even though
     G5         D5                   E5
It's hard to tell this lonesome hand
      G5         D5      
It's taken it's toll and I just don't know how far it can go

CHORUS:
D5                   E5
Well come down and watch your first step
G5                      D5
Don't do anything you might regret
D5                      E5           G5        D5
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
D5                 E5
It wasn't all sunny days
G5                     D5
Picking through your memories
         D5                    E5            G5        D5
Oh the rain came down and you covered me in velvet  
       C5   G5      D5 
Oh you covered me in velvet

VERSE 2:
There you are it's like a song I heard
In a smoky bar where the whiskey stirred
Just like my heart and it's dancing alone
And it seems like it just won't ever end

CHORUS:
Well come down and watch your first step
Don't do anything you might regret
Cause you're just much too innocent to suffer
It wasn't all sunny days
Picking through your memories
Oh the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
Oh you covered me in velvet

Another turn, another cautious step
Will we ever learn just how lonesome can get
You caught me running, running away
And I just don't know how long I can stay

CHORUS:
Well come down and watch your first step
Don't do anything you might regret
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
And it wasn't all sunny days
Picking through your memories
Oh the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
Oh you covered me in velvet
Oh you covered me in velvet
In velvet
In velvet
