Intro: C 

N.C.    C          ~ 
Over my shoulder 
   Am                       G       F 
My heart expects to see you running after me 
        Dm      G 
Calling out my name 
        C          ~ 
Over my shoulder 
          Am                       G     F 
There's a coat you used to wrap me in to keep me warm 
   Dm 
To keep me near 


           G 
Though the clouds still hang around me 

Like my stormy love for you 
  
The rain is falling softer now 
    Am    G        F 
The sun is breaking through 


        F                 C 
Over my shoulder, I see a rainbow 
          G               G/B         C           G 
And is it heaven's way of saying I can let you go 
             F               Bb       C      Am 
And tomorrow morning I'll be one day older 
    C              F  C 
And you will be a memory 
Dm             G 
one last look 
        C 
Over my shoulder 


N.C.    C           
Over my shoulder 
~             Am                    G   F 
There're some words I said I wish I had back again 
         Dm         G 
But it's out of my hands 
        C          ~ 
Over my shoulder 
        Am                       G        F 
Oh, the shadow of our love keeps reaching out for me 
         Dm 
It won't set me free 


     G 
With every step I ask myself 

Which way should I go 

It's hard to find your way across 
  Am            G      F 
A bridge that's burning slow 

        F                 C 
Over my shoulder, I see a rainbow 
      G               G/B         C           G 
Is it heaven's way of saying I can let you go 
         F               Bb      C      Am 
Tomorrow morning I'll be one day older 
    C              F  C 
And you will be a memory  
Dm             G 
One last look 
        C 
Over my shoulder
