Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

It's bad timeing and me

 We find a lot of things out this way

 And there's you

 A little black cloud in a dress

The temptation

 To take the precious things we have a part

 To see how they work

 Must be resisted for they never fit together again

If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me

If these are tears let them fall

 Must I paint you a picture

 About the way that I feel

 You know that my love for you is strong girl

 You know that my love for you is real

It took a short walk and a talk

 To change the rules of engagement

 While you searched frantically for reverse

And then claiming

 That virtue never tested is no virtue at all

And so I lost my ignorance

And now the bells across the river chime out your name

I look across to them again (chorus)

All your friends sais come down

It will never fly

 And on that imperfect day

 We threw it all away

 Crisis after crisis, with such intensity

This would never happen if we lived by the sea

Most important decisions in life

 Are made between two people in bed

 I found that at my own expense

And when I see you

 You juts turn around and walk away like we never met

 Oh we used to be so brave

I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill

 I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus)
