CAPO 2
E F#
Stood out in the rain, let it soak me down
A E
for I called you. I called you.
F#
You did not see me there, hidden by the dark
A E
beneath your window, but I saw you.
G# A
When putting on a face for the mirror on the wall
G# Esus4 A
dreaming that the looking glass is yo----u
F#
catching my fondest gazes,
A E B
living through my fickle phases, I love you.
E F#
Spend my dimes on phones trying just to talk,
A E
but you don't answer, you let it ring.
F#
Spend my nights alone catching falling stars
A E
to give to you, love, they're just for you.
G# A
Stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth,
G# Esus4 A
and far too many stars have fell on me-----e.
F#
And as they trail the skies, I
A E C#m
burn their paths upon my eyes. I-i cry.
A
And it's getting easier each day to weep about you,
C#m A
harder every night to sleep without you.
F# A F# C#m
How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with you?
Outro: A | F# | C#m
