nd Fret 

               G                  C 
Looking at the rain - feeling the pain 
    F                G           C 
Of love lost running though - my brain 
               G                  C 
Looking at the wind - watching it spin 
     F               G            C 
The leaves along the street - you win 
              Am      Em 
Waiting for a line to fall 
Am               Em             Dm 
Telling you it's all a - big mistake 


               G                  C 
Looking at a face - so out of place 
  F                 G           C 
Inside that picture frame - of lace 
               G                    C 
Looking at the wall - wishing you'd call 
    F                G           C 
And tell me you're okay - that's all 
                 Am     Em 
Wishing this was all a dream 
Am                Em             Dm 
And I'd find you sleeping when I wake 


               G                  C 
Looking at the trees - so ill at ease 
     F                   G             C 
From sleep that will not come - that's me 
               G                   C 
Looking at the dawn - knowing it's wrong 
      F                G             C 
Still thinking of your love - that's gone 
             Am        Em 
Wishing this was all a dream 
Am               Em              Dm 
And I'd find you sleeping when I wake 


               G                  C 
Looking at the door - walking the floor 
    F                   G          C 
And wondering where you are - once more 
               G               C 
Looking at the sky - wondering why 
    F              G      C 
I'd let you slip away - I cry 
                 Am     Em 
Wishing this was all a dream 
Am               Em              Dm 
And I'd find you sleeping when I wake 


               G                  C 
Looking at the rain - feeling the pain 
    F                G           C 
Of love lost running though - my brain 
               G                  C 
Looking at the wind - watching it spin 
    F                 G           C 
The leaves along the street - you win 
              Am      Em 
Waiting for a line to fall 
Am               Em            Dm 
Telling you it's all a big mistake 
NC                  C 
But the words won't come 
  F                   G 
I know I'd - feel the same 
               C 
Looking at the rain
