                         Dm                G
It wasn't rain that washed away
               Dm              Am
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
             F              C
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
  Dm              G
I must have realized.
 
              Dm
It wasn't the rain
             G
That made no difference
                  Dm             Am
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
              F
But I did it all so coldly
   C
...almost slowly
Dm                   G
Plain for all to see.
 
A        F
Oh c'mon please now
     G
Talk to me=20
C         G                  D7(sus4) D
Tell me; things I could find help  -  ful
F         C
How can I stop now...
         G                D7(sus4) D
Is there nothing I can do
F               C
I have lost my way
Em               Dm
I've been losing you.
 
          Dm                G
I can still hear our screams competing
               Dm              Am
You're hissing your s's like a snake
             F              C
Now in the mirror stands half a man 
  Dm              G
I thought no one could break.
 
          Dm                G
It wasn't the rain that made no difference
               Dm              Am
Nervously drumming on: "Run away!"
             F              C
But I want the guilt to get me thoughts to wreck me
Dm                   G
Preying on my mind.
 
A        F
Oh c'mon please now
     G
Talk to me=20
C         G                  D7(sus4) D
Tell me; things I could find help  -  ful
F         C
How can I stop now...
         G                D7(sus4) D
Is there nothing I can do
F               C
I have lost my way
Em               Dm
I've been losing you.
