C E Dm F (x2)

verse 1:
         C              E
When it rains, yeah it rains
       Dm                     F
we can be so unforgiving, it leaves us unforgiven
           C              E
we're the same, we never change
         Dm                            F                         Bb
it's the reason we're together, just waiting for the weather to pass


chorus:
            F         C      Bb
I've been rolling my days away
                    F           C         Bb
can't turn out the light that keeps me awake
            G                    F
I've been trying to sleep for a while
             Dm            Am                     
there'll be nothing left to talk about
     Bb              F
and no one left to hear.
       (F)
In a while,
            Dm            Am
We'll pour water on these ashes and
     Bb              F
the walls will disappear
        C  A
for a while
            Dm            C           G   Bb F
We've been caught in the cold light of day


verse 2:
           C               E
Lost our love, you put it down
     Dm                         F
somewhere for safekeeping, so safe you don't remember
           C                E
but it's okay, we'll make some more 
      Dm                                  F                                 Bb
it's you that i'll be needing, not these books that we've been reading too long


chorus:
            F         C      Bb
I've been rolling my days away
                    F           C         Bb
can't turn out the light that keeps me awake
            G                    F
I've been trying to sleep for a while
             Dm            Am                     
there'll be nothing left to talk about
     Bb              F
and no one left to hear.
       (F)
In a while,
            Dm            Am
We'll pour water on these ashes and
     Bb              F
the walls will disappear
        C  A
for a while
            Dm            C           G   Bb  F
We've been caught in the cold light of day


Bridge: 
G Bb F (x4)


chorus:           
             F *        C *    Bb *
I've been rolling my days away
                    F *          C *       Bb *
can't turn out the light that keeps me awake
            G                   
I've been trying to sleep, I've been trying to sleep
         F
for a while
             Dm            Am                     
there'll be nothing left to talk about
     Bb              F
and no one left to hear.
       (F)
In a while,
            Dm            Am
We'll pour water on these ashes and
     Bb              F
the walls will disappear
        C  A
for a while
            Dm            C           G   Bb
We've been caught in the cold light of day
