A                   E            D                E  
Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean
A                   E               D                  E
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue
A                     E               D                  E
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things
A                   E              D                       E
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street

(Close your weary eyes until the wintertime)
Bm                      E      Bm                     E
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave
A                                                E                        D
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
A                                             E                    D         
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
E                         A
And hold it in your hands again
A                      E
Cold ways kill cool lovers
D                           E
Strange ways we used each othe
A                            D       A  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A                                        E
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
  D                     E
The way we sleep all summer
A                              D        A E  
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
A                 E          D      E  
Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
A               E         D        E   
Haunted by the ghost of something new

A                        E          D            E
Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over
A                      E         D                E
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes
A                        E                 D                          E
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart To keep a world from caving in
A                    E          D               E
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue

(Close your weary eyes until the wintertime)
Bm                     E    Bm                     E
But everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave
A                                      E                           D
I would change but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
A                                                      E                  D
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
E                          A
And hold it in your hands again
A                     E 
Cold ways kill cool lovers
D                       E
Strange way we use each other
A                           D        A  E 
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A                                   E
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
D                      E
The way we sleep all summer
A                           D         A  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A                           D         A  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A                           D         A  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A                           D         A  E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
