Verse: 

   Bm     A     D 
If I get up and let you in 
   Bm     A            D 
I lose my house and my home again 
   Bm     A      D 
If I get up and try to come 
  G                    A 
I get sent back to the land I'm from 
G           A        D 
Back to the land I'm from 

    Bm         A           D 
The cloud came low and the rain did pour 
  Bm         A           D 
I hear your hand touch on my door 
    Bm       A            D 
The rain has quit and the light of the moon 
G                  A 
Shows you standing in my room 
G        A     D 
Standing in my room 



Bm     A     D 
Bugeye Jim, I can't come 
      Bm        A         D 
I can twist and turn, but I can't come 
      Bm             A         D 
I can ache and I can burn, but I can't come 
  G                            A 
I work up this morning with an aching brain 
         G         A      D 
Hear you tap on my window pane. 

D 

Verse 

  Bm      A          D 
I look at you with a heavy head 
  Bm       A         D 
I hear you sit down on my bed 
    Bm         A            D 
The storm gets worse and my heart feels bare 
  G                  A 
I feel your fingers comb my hair 
     G       A       D 
Your fingers comb my hair 

    Bm     A            D 
The mud it runs and the waters rise 
  Bm        A        D 
I feel your hot kiss on my eyes 
    Bm      A              D 
The rain it rained and the world did stir 
  G              A 
I sing to you my lovesick word 
G             A        D 
I sing you my lovesick word

I work up this morning with an aching brain
