F
Everybody's making plans for tomorrow
The sun could turn to sand but I just
                   C
Ought to take you back in time
               Gm  Am
I'll draw the line
                     Dm
And I would write a different story
   Gm         Am
a new final act
                   Dm                      F
I don't need the drama but I would never write
     C
you out

Everyone's a thread, we're woven together
Read it in the tears and fraying edges
Read the book of you
The book of me
We're fading into memory
But something is left
A gesture, a phrase, or a photograph
The warp and weft

Chorus:
F                            Gm
We're always walking in the rain
                               A
And you're just trouble so I claim
Pretend the world can see
     A#
That I'm the one for you
               C7
And you're the one for me

Valentine, if you could change with the weather
Faith would just evaporate
Untethered in a fresh disguise
I'll catch your eye
And see behind the mask
And find you never went far
But that's not the last time
I've thought about the way we are
