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
