★4.5(113)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics:

The drops of rain they fall all over

This awkward silence makes me crazy

The glow inside burns light upon her

I'll try to kiss you if you let me

... This can't be the end

Tidal waves they rip right through me

Tears from eyes worn cold and sad

Pick me up now, I need you so bad

Down down down down

Down down down down

It gets me so

Down down down down

Down down down down

It gets me so

Your vows of silence fall all over

The look in your eyes makes me crazy

I feel the darkness break upon her

I'll take you over if you let me

... You did this

Tidal waves they rip right through me

Tears from eyes worn cold and sad

Pick me up now, I need you so bad.

Down down down down

Down down down down

It gets me so

Down down down down

Down down down down

It gets me so

Down down down down

Down down down down
