Intro: C G Am F (x2)        


Verse 
   
C      G                       Am      F   
 The drought was the very worst   
C           G                 Am            F   
 When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst   
C         G                             Am       F   
 It was months, and months of back and forth   
C                 G               Am                         F   
 You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore   


Pre-Chorus 
   
  G                F                      G                    F   
 Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm   



  C          G      Am    
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning   
   F                            C   
 That's when I could finally breathe   
         G        Am                        F                      C         
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean   


 Verse   

C           G                  Am      F   
 There was nothing left to do   
C          G                     Am                F   
 When the butterflies turned to dust they covered my whole room   
C       G                        Am      F   
 So I punched a hole in the roof   
C           G          Am            F   
 Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you   


 Pre-Chorus  
  
      G                F                   G               F   
 The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing   

  
  C          G      Am    
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning   
   F                            C   
 That's when I could finally breathe   
         G        Am                        F                      C         
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean   
 G                      Am      F   
 I think I am finally clean   
C     G                      Am      F   
 Said I think I am finally clean   


Bridge:  
  
  C   
 10 months sober, I must admit   
  F   
 Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it   
  C   
 10 months older I won't give in   
  F   
 Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it   
C      G                       Am      F   
 The drought was the very worst   
C           G                 Am            F   
 When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst   



  C          G      Am    
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning   
   F                            C   
 That's when I could finally breathe   
         G        Am                        F                            
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean   
  C          G      Am    
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning   
   F                            C   
 That's when I could finally breathe   
         G        Am                        F                      C         
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean   
G          Am      F   
 Finally clean   
                     C      G      Am       
 Think I'm finally clean   
F                     C   
 Think I'm finally clean
