The Ems:
Almost every time an Em is played in this song, it's extended with a 7th, a 9th
or both. There's no pattern, so instead of adding extensions to the chords in
the schemes I'll show you some suggestion of playing around with an Em-chord.
LYRICS
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know
Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must away to find that really, he has no-one
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh, will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one in dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Well, maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
Oh lover, you should've come over
Yes, I feel too young to hold on
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well I wait for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause its not too late
