Intro: E - D - E - D - E - D    Em D* G Am       

Em            D*         G         Am
every time we do this, I fall for her
Em                    D*        G        Am
wave after wave after wave it's all for her
Em                  D*                   G
i know this can't be wrong i say (and i'll lie to keep her happy)
Am                      Em                 D*
as long as i know that you know that today i belong
G  Am
right here with you, right here with you...

and so we watch the sun come up from the edge of the deep green sea

and she listens like her head's on fire,

like she wants to believe in me

so i try put your hands in the sky

surrender

remember

we'll be here forever and we'll never say goodbye...

i've never been so colourfully-see-through-head before

i've never been so wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more

and all i want is to keep it like this

you and me alone, a secret kiss

and don't go home, don't go away

don't let this end, please stay

not just for today

never never never never never let me go she says

hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days

but suddenly she slows

and looks down at my breaking face

why do you cry? what did i say?

but it's just rain i smile

brushing my tears away...


Bm                  C
i wish i could just stop
D                   Em
i know another moment will break my heart
Bm              C
too many tears, too many times
D               Em
too many years i've cried over you


E                    D
how much more can we use it up?
E             D
drink it dry? take this drug?
E                    D
looking for something forever gone
E                 D
but something we will always want?

why why why are you letting me go? she says
i feel you pulling back, i feel you changing shape...
and just as i'm breaking free
she hangs herself in front of me
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
and hands in the sky surrenders it all...

i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried for you
it's always the same
wake up in the rain
head in pain
hung in shame
a different name
same old game
love in vain
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
away from home again...
