Clouds Are Made Of Pain
View chords used in this chart
A Em G
I try hard to read her thoughts
A Em G
I read her lips but I still don’t know
A Em G
I try to breathe but the breathing's slow
A Em G
I miss the words and I let them flow
A Em G
And she stands in the velvet light
A Em G
As I try to reach her hand
A Em G
‘Cos I’m scared when the night comes
A Em G
Especially when it rains
‘Cos the clouds are made of pain
I don’t want to stay outside
I need a shelter from the sky
I need her hand to chase the pain
I turn my back against the wall
And put a pillow on my face
I close my eyes until I bleed
‘Cos the clouds are made of pain
When the sky returns to blue
I can say I feel secure
'Till it starts to rain again
‘Cos the clouds are made of pain
