D
Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the
 C      Em
funeral mourners
    D
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes
     C        Em   C#m7-5
fill up with water
                   F#7
And maybe I'm too young
    Bm                  D      G6
To keep good love from going wrong
       D                   C   Em
But tonight, you're on my mind so
You'll never know

Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child
You know how much I need it
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run

Chorus:
Bm                    Em
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
         Bm                                 Em
When he feels like he should be having his fun
              Bm                           Em
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
 C
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
     Em       Ddim 
He has no-one...
 D               Gm6
So I'll wait for you. And I'll burn
A                   G6 
Oh will I ever see your sweet return?
 A  
Oh, will I ever learn?
Cmaj7 Bm        A  
 Oh,  oh, oh, lover,
 G6     A       F#m Em
you  should've come over
                     D  Em
'Cause it's not too late.

Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns
For a sleep that won't ever come
It's never over
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over
All my riches for her smiles when
I slept so soft against her
It's never over
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over
She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Well maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Chorus:
Oh... Ohh... Ohhhhh... Ohhhhhh...
Ohh..... lover, you should've come over
Yes, yes, I feel too young to hold on
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb,
and blind to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well I'll wait for you
Lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
