Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

I should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared.

After all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare.

But still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise,

you brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise

Chorus

Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea,

so I will stand in the rain until I am clean

(play this on the second time through on the second chorus)

Rivers carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream,

so I will swim in the river as long as you need.

We fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear,

but I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year

I need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins.

I need to make a home for you before inviting you in

back to chorus x2

Darling oh my darling you know that everything that I do

is to try and make me good enough for you

Darling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go,

I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home.

("back home.....")

breakdown bit

x2

Darling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go,

I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home.
