capo 4 — sounds 4 semitones higherIntro
Verse 1
A gutter full of rain
An empty picture frame
A house out at the edges of the city
Never noticing the war
'til it's right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody
Verse 2
I was seeking to possess
Now another girl's caress
Is in your flesh the bitterness is tasted
There's nobody in your chair
No hand to touch my hair
The sun, even the air seems wasted
Chorus
Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we'll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain
Verse 3
Were these twenty years a dream?
Was it ever as it seemed?
Get to wonder if it really existed
'Cause the thief who stole my life
Has taken to my faith
I can see now how the world gets twisted
Chorus
Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we'll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain
Verse 4
In spite of all the shame
Sometimes I hear your name
And I think of us when we were younger
And I'm shutting out the noise
And I'm trying to hear the voice
That used to tell me love was stronger
Light another cigarette
But the one I've got's still lit
I can't seem to keep my fingers steady
Never noticing the war
'til it's right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody
