A5                   E5            D5                E5  
Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean
A5                   E5               D5                  E5
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue
A5                     E5               D5                  E5
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things
A5                   E5              D5                       E5
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street

(Close your weary eyes until the wintertime)
B5                      E5      B5                     E5
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave
A5                                                E5                        D5
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
A5                                             E5                    D5         
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
E5                         A5
And hold it in your hands again
A5                      E5
Cold ways kill cool lovers
D5                           E5
Strange ways we used each othe
A5                            D5       A5  E5
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A5                                        E5
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
  D5                     E5
The way we sleep all summer
A5                              D5        A5 E5  
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
A5                 E5          D5      E5  
Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
A5               E5         D5        E5   
Haunted by the ghost of something new

A5                        E5          D5            E5
Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over
A5                      E5         D5                E5
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes
A5                        E5                 D5                          E5
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart To keep a world from caving in
A5                    E5          D5               E5
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue

(Close your weary eyes until the wintertime)
B5                     E5    B5                     E5
But everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave
A5                                      E5                           D5
I would change but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
A5                                                      E5                  D5
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
E5                          A5
And hold it in your hands again
A5                     E5 
Cold ways kill cool lovers
D5                       E5
Strange way we use each other
A5                           D5        A5  E5 
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A5                                   E5
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
D5                      E5
The way we sleep all summer
A5                           D5         A5  E5
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A5                           D5         A5  E5
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A5                           D5         A5  E5
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A5                           D5         A5  E5
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
