Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x 2
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand
[G/f#]
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three
And I can't find my own among the directions they're all going
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
It's alright take this rain as your new address
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time
[G/f#]
Going crazier every day watching our love slipping away
'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted and the only light I've known
But baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
It's alright take this rain as your new address
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
You're going to be free
Solo
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see
Take the way I went on believing you might still believe in me
And I still want the love I always thought our love could be
But some things can't be changed take this rain
You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
And know my love and my desperation are one in the same
[G/f#]
And where our footprints used to be there'll be nothing but the sea
And the tide and the wind and the open sky and the unbroken horizon
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
It's alright take this pain and all your sadness
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
It's alright take this rain you're going to be free
