VERSE 
              G           C                  Em  D  G 
Are we just drops of rain falling for a little while 
                 C               G            Em         D    
Playing hard we lose and gain, trying to hold on to what matters 
         Am (G) C     Em           
Till the end…  



VERSE: 
                 G    C                      Em  D  G    
I keep walking forward like I know where I’m heading 
           C                       G              Em       D 
How I wish you were here to see me trying to live up to my name 
         Am (G) C 
Till the end… 




G            Bm       C        G              Bm      C 
I should be thinking with my head not with my broken heart 
D            Em         C       G          Am               C 
Look to the future for all it can give and not to us being apart 



VERSE
 
Em                    G 
We trip and fall and stand again 
C                   Em            D   G 
and go on with our heads held high 
                     C           G              Em         D 
We laugh and love as best we can trying to hold on to the wonder 
    Am     (G) C 
How long? How long? 



 
G           Bm       C        G               Bm      C 
I should be thinking with my head not with my broken heart 
D            Em         C       G       A               C 
Look to the future for all it's got and not to us being apart 



Bridge
            C               G 
Sometimes I feel I can’t go on 
                 Am             G    Bm       C 
I let it get me down so hard to heal oh and I fall 
            G                 Am         G           C    D  
Fall to my knees it hurts to survive the love that’s gone 




G           Bm       C        G               Bm      C 
I should be thinking with my head not with my broken heart 
D            Em         C        G       A               C      A     C 
Look to the future for all it's got and not to us being apart
