C                        Am
The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
C                   Am
Rain come down and wash away my fears
              Em
And all this writing on the wall
Em                         Am  C  G  G
Oh I can read between the lines

C                  Am
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
C                   Am
Rain come down and give this dirty town
            Em
A drink of water
            Am  C
A drink of wine

Chorus:
G         Am          F
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
G       Am            F
I never wanted no one else
G          Am             Em             Am    G
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
 F     F   F    F   G
Hand in  hand like lovers are supposed to

As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you
But in the dark you'd speak my name
You'd say baby what's wrong?

Oh here I am baby I'm coming back for more
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Yes and if my love's in vain how come
my love is so strong?

Chorus

             D
Supposed to be

Now you and me go parallel together and apart
And you keep the perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance
You never tried to cross no line

'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I don't know who's kissing you
and I don't know where you are
So far from home don't you think of me sometime

Chorus - x2

The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
Rain come down wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh I can read between the lines
