A Em G I try hard to read her thoughts A Em G I read her lips but I still don’t know A Em G I try to breathe but the breathing's slow A Em G I miss the words and I let them flow A Em G And she stands in the velvet light A Em G As I try to reach her hand A Em G ‘Cos I’m scared when the night comes A Em G Especially when it rains ‘Cos the clouds are made of pain I don’t want to stay outside I need a shelter from the sky I need her hand to chase the pain I turn my back against the wall And put a pillow on my face I close my eyes until I bleed ‘Cos the clouds are made of pain When the sky returns to blue I can say I feel secure 'Till it starts to rain again ‘Cos the clouds are made of pain
