[Verse]
Em7 A
Tell me what you're thinking baby
Em9 A
Your heart's beating faster than mine
Em7 A Em9 A
And I know something's going on in your life
Em7 A Em9 A
In your life... in your life
[Pre chorus]
Em7 A
Em7 A
You were the girl I wanted to cry with
Em7 A
You were the girl I wanted to die with
Em9 A
And you were the boy who turned into the man
Em9 A
Broke my heart and let go off my hand
[Chorus]
Em7 A
Our bed is empty, the fire is out
Em9 A
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
Em7 A
There's no more blood and no more pain
Em9 A
In our kingdom of rain
[Verse]
Em9 A
You think you know about life
Em9 A
You think you know about love
Em9 A
But when you put your hands inside me
Em7 A
It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched, and
[Pre chorus]
Em7 A
You were the boy I wanted to cry with
Em7 A
You were the boy I wanted to die with
Em7 A
You've moved further from my side, year by year
Em7 A
While still making love dutifully sincere
[Chorus]
Em7 A
But as silent as the car lights that move across this room
Em7 A
As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon
Em9
And I would lie awake and wonder
A Em9 A Em7
Is it just me or is this the way love is supposed to be?
Em A Em A Em A
[Verse]
Em7 A
Tell me what you told him baby
Em9 A
My heart's beating out of time with my mind
Em7 A Em7 A
And I know something's going wrong in our lives
[Pre chorus]
Em7 A Em9 A
I just wanted somebody to caress, this damsel in distress
Em7 A Em9
I just wanted somebody to undress, this damsel in distress
Em7 A Em9 A
I just wanted somebody to bless, this damsel in distress
Em7 A Em9 A Em7
I just wanted somebody to possess, this young girl
[Chorus]
Em7 A
Our bed is empty, the fire is out
Em9 A
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
Em7 A
Our bed is empty, the fire is out
Em9 A
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
Em7 A
Our bed is empty, the fire is out
Em9 A
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
Em7 A
There's no more blood and no more pain
Em9 A
In our kingdom of rain
