Lyrics

(D)Look ing out the door I see the rain fall up on the fu ner al (Em)mourn ers,

pa (D)rad ing in the wake of sad re la tions as the shoes fill up with (Em)wa ter.

May be I’m too (F#7)young

to (Bm)keep good love from going wrong,

but to (D)night

you’re

on my (Em)mind

so you’ll nev er know.

I’m (D)bro ken down and hun gry for your love with no way to (Em)feed it.

(D)Where are you to night?

You know how much I (Em)need it.

Too young to hold (F#7)on,

too (Bm)old to (A)break free and (G)run.

(Bm)Some times a man

gets (Em)car ried a way

when he (Bm)feels like he should be hav ing his fun.

And he’s (Bm)much too blind to see the dam age he’s (Em)done

’cause (C)some times a man must a wake to find that real ly he has no one.

So, I’ll wait for you

and I’ll burn.

(D)Oh, will I ev er see your sweet re (Gm6)turn?

(D)Oh, will I ev er learn?

(C)Oh,

(G)oh,

(A)lov er, you (D)should ’ve (D)come (Em)o ver

’cause it’s not too late.

(D)Lone ly is the room; the bed is made, the o pen win dow lets the (Em)rain in.

(D)Burn ing in the cor ner is the on ly one who dreams he had you (Em)with him.

My bod y (F#7)turns,

(Bm)yearns for a sleep that won’t ev er (G)come.

’Cause it’s not too (D)late.

(A)Lov er, you (D)should ’ve (D)come o ver.
