Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

It's bad timeing and me

We find a lot of things out this way

And there's you

A little black cloud in a dress

The temptation

To take the precious things we have a part

To see how they work

Must be resisted for they never fit together again

If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me

If these are tears let them fall

Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I feel

You know that my love for you is strong girl

You know that my love for you is real

It took a short walk and a talk

To change the rules of engagement

While you searched frantically for reverse

And then claiming

That virtue never tested is no virtue at all

And so I lost my ignorance

And now the bells across the river chime out your name

I look across to them again (chorus)

All your friends sais come down

It will never fly

And on that imperfect day

We threw it all away

Crisis after crisis, with such intensity

This would never happen if we lived by the sea

Most important decisions in life

Are made between two people in bed

I found that at my own expense

And when I see you

You juts turn around and walk away like we never met

Oh we used to be so brave

I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill

I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus)
