Standard (EADGBE)

 A gutter full of rain

 an empty picture frame

 a house out at the edges of the city

 never noticing the war

 'til it's right there at your door

 and suddenly your hands are bloody

 I was seeking to possess

 now another girls caress

 is on your flesh

 the bitterness is tasted

 there's nobody in your chair

 no hand to touch my hair

 the sun even the air seems wasted

Let it go now

 Let it all slip away

 and we'll start it all over again

Me like a million others before

trying to make sense of the rain

 Were these twenty years a dream

 was it ever as it seemed

 get to wonder if it really existed

 cause the thief who stole my life

 has taken to my faith

 I can see now how the world gets twisted

Let it go now

 Let it all slip away

and we'll start it all over again

Me like a million

 others before

trying to make sense of the rain

 In spite of all the shame

 some times I hear your name

 I think of us when we were younger

 then I'm shutting out the noise

 and I'm trying to hear the voice

 that used to tell me love was stronger

 Light another cigarette

 but the one I got's still lit

 I can't seem to keep my fingers steady

 Never noticing the war

 'til it's right there at your door

 and suddenly your hands are bloody.
