All your storm y words have bare ly bro ken.

And you sound like thun der,

Oh, it looks like (Bb6)rain to night,

and thank (Dm)God, ’cause a clear sky just (Dm)would n’t feel right.

He’s tak en and leav ing, but I keep be liev ing that he’s gon na come round soon.

(He’ll come round soon, I know.)

You may be

’cause I chase ev ’ry thing when (Bb6)you play throw

and I play catch.

Nev er took much to (Bb6)keep me sat is fied.

But all the (Dm)bull shit you feed me, you miss me, you need me.

This (Dm)hun gry heart will (Dm)not sub side.

He’s tak en and leav ing, but I keep be liev ing that he’s gon na come round soon.
