[C]It's bad tim[G]eing and m[F]e


We find a l[G]ot of things out this way


And the[G]re's you


A little bl[F]ack cloud in a dres[G]s


[C]The temptat[G]ion


To take the prec[Am]ious things w[F]e have a part


To se[C]e how they wor[G]k


Must be resi[G]sted for they never fit tog[Am]ether again


[G]If this is rain let it f[Am]all on me and drown me


[G]If these are tears let[Am] them fall


Must I paint you a pi[C]cture


About the way that I[C] feel


You know that my love for you [C]is strong g[Am]irl


You know that my love for you [C]is real[Am]


It took a sho[G]rt walk and a ta[F]lk


To change the ru[G]les of engagement


While you searc[G]hed frantically for rev[F]erse


[C]And then cla[G]iming


That vir[Am]tue never tes[F]ted is no vi[C]rtue at al[A]l


[C]And so [G]I lost my ignoran[Am]ce


[F-G]   And now the bells across the river[Am] chime out your name


[G]I look across to them a[Am]gain  [G]   (chorus)


[Em]All your friends sais come dow[C]n


It will never fly


And on that impe[F]rfect day


We threw it al[G]l away


C[Em]risis after crisis, w[Am]ith such intensity


[F]This would never happen if we lived [G]by the sea


[C]Most impo[G]rtant decisions in life


Are made betwee[G]n two people in bed


I found th[G]at at my own expens[F]e


[C]And when I se[G]e you


You juts tu[Am]rn around and w[F]alk away like [C]we never m[G]et


Oh [G]we used to be so br[Am]ave


[G]I dreamt the wolrd stopped tur[Am]ning as we climbed the h[G]ill


I dreamt impossible dre[Am]ams that we were lovers still [G] (chorus)
