Bbm C# Ebm Bbm G#m
Bbm C#
I don't know where I crossed the line

Was it something that I said

In all the shades of blue
F# G#
And I don't know which way it's gonna go
C# F#
If it's gonna be a rainy day
Bbm
There's nothing we can do to make it change
G#
We can pray for sunny weather
C#
But that won't stop the rain
F#
Feeling like you got no place to run

I can be your shelter 'til it's done

We can make this last forever

To let this pass us by

And everything in between

And I don't know which way it's gonna go

If it's gonna be a rainy day
