FC Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways AmBbC 'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door FC I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing AmBbC One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore

FC Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins AmBbC Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again? FC And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong AmBbC 'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong
