darling,  why am I not surprised it rained  today?
doesn’t  it seem my broken heart  just tends to ride  the wind
 but what  will break the weight that’s held up  by a string?
you  don’t  reminisce like me 'bout how  it was
romanticizing  these redundant  thoughts
 I’m  never free
so  I wait for your parade to come rain down  on me
I’m  running around hoping to find
 somebody like the boy that I left  behind
 who loved all  of me
 my fingernails  and scatterbrain and crooked  teeth
E -------6---8-6------------------|

G -------7---7-7------------------|
D -------8---8-8------------------|
A ---6---6---6-6----------0-2-3---|
E ------------------0-2-3---------|
dreams don’t  carry quite the weight they used  to have
two  kids looking through rosy colored  glass
 like fools  in love
 the summer  drugged our senses, filled our eyes  with stars
 but now we  say goodnight confined to separate  sides
and  you’ll never compromise your current  life to  look behind
 you never  planned to love me for this long  a time
I’m  running around hoping to find
 somebody like my one, though in time  I’m sure
I’ll  grow to know
 another’s  eyes, another’s laugh and skin  and bones

E ------------------0-2-3---------|
 *Darren’s mouth trumpet solo* * * *  (2x)
 but til then, I’ll  keep on wanting you who I  can’t have
cuz  with the distance came this awful  dam
 and being  in in love
with  someone I can’t feel or hold or see  or touch
I’m  running around hoping to find
 somebody like my one, though in time  I’m sure
I’ll  grow to know
 another’s  eyes, another’s laugh and skin  and bones

D -------8---8-8------------------|

E ------------------0-2-3---------|
Love  come and take me away  (4x)
 With you,  you, you
