 VERSES:
    Am             E                     Am
 1. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
 2. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
 3. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
 
                     E        E7
 I keep on wondering why you lie.
 I keep on wondering why you lie.
 I keep on wondering why you lie.
 
 Dm                      E7                       Am
 Like the tears I had to cry, sliding down with pain
 Like a ship left on the sea, and the ocean in a rage
 Like a bird lost in the sky, flying  down with pain
 
              G             E           E7               Am     G
 You're still hangin' in my brain and I feel like such a fool.   (To Verse 2) 
 With the waves that run so high it's a never ending tide.       (To Chorus 1)
 You're still soaring in my brain it's a never ending flight.    (To Chorus 2)
 
 CHORUS:
      C                     G        E7 
 1.2. I don't wanna keep on dragging myself
 
 Am        G                F ////  /// G
 I Seem to live in happiness
 
 C                     G       E7
 I don't wanna keep on draggin myself
 
 Am         G             F     Dm  E7
 I Need someone to find my way,        And I feel like such a fool.
