Handful Of Rain
Watching You Fall
Piano: The left hand is playing an ocative bass. F to a higher F &
G to a higher G. Roll them quickly.
The right hand is playing Gm to F. You start the Gm chord one
beat after you play the higher G in the bass. Follow this pattern
through all 3 verses.
Verse 1 ( Gm to F )
There in the dark there's a child and she's waiting.
Lost in the maze of a fait accomoli.
Is it a crime to be just hesitating?
While were pretending that we never see.
(The song builds up in Gm)

Verse 2 (Gm to F)
Is there a trick to the art of not feeling.
Safe in our world while another's child bleeds.
Praying that GOD won't demand a redealing.
Of the cards we have held and pretened you don't need.
(Repeat bridge and chorus from above)
Dm A/C# C G/B
Better not to think about it. And in time we'll start to doubt it.
Bb C Dm C
Christ has risen. Keep him hidden. God forbid He sees.

It's not that we lack the vision. Only just a quick decision.
Bb C Dm C
Who will blame us? Rules restrain us. It's all in History.

So close my eyes and pretened I am sleeping.
Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams.
