Strum
D-DU-UDU
Can't rely  on time
 To change  the way you feel
 'Cause time  it often  loses track
 Of who  it's got to heal
You  can read  my palm
 And tell  me that my future  looks strong
 And I  will play  along
Better  that than to wait to prove you wrong
 'Cause it's another overcast  day
Like  it's been for a week
 And I would blame  feeling down  on the weather
 If I had  no other reason  to be
People let  you down
 When you least  expect them to
 And hearts  they move  around  so fast
 And love  it somehow gets renewed
 And my state  of mind  is hiding  in
 The shadow  you left behind
 And this song  is playing in  my head
 As you walk  away in perfect  time
 And you  and I  are just saving  hope
 In pockets  and of sleeves
 For rainy days  when you need  it most
Rainy  days like these
 And my state  of mind  is hiding  in
 The shadow  you left behind
 And this song  is playing in  my head
 As you walk  away in perfect  time
Can't rely  on time
 To change  the way you feel
 'Cause time  it often  loses track
 Of who  it's got to heal
 And my state  of mind  is hiding  in
 The shadow  you left behind
 And this song  is playing in  my head
 As you walk  away in perfect  time
