D           A 
If you were here 
           C        G 
I could deceive you 
D               A 
And if you were here 
           C      G 
You would believe 
D                   A 
But would you suspect 
      C    G 
My emotion wandering, yeah? 
D              A              C    G 
Do not want a part of this anymore 

The rain water drips 
Through the cracks in the ceiling 
And I'll have to spend 
My time on repair 
And just like the rain 
I'll be always fallin', yeah 
Only to rise and fall again 

If you were here 
I could deceive you 
And if you were here 
You would believe 

But would you suspect 
My emotion wandering, yeah? 
Do not want a part of this anymore 

If you were here 
I could deceive you 
And if you were here 
You would believe 

But just like the rain 
I'll be always fallin', yeah 
Only to rise and fall again
