Oh it may be, that we are neverending
Dm G C C
but i wouldn't ever shine my shoes for you
C Em Am Dm
and you may think that we are done pretending
Dm G C C
but the rain that I wrote came from the blue

drain my wine like that widow at the window

that plays through my mind

dress my best clothes just to lean against a lamp post

and think of those days

of time spent the wrong way

with you
Bridge
Dm G G
ink seeps in through my skin

Let you get ahead

remember me fondly when i'm gone
