verse
G
i should have seen you were coming , i should have been prepared .
Cadd9 D
after all , getting half of what you wish for isn’t so rare .
G
but still i wasn’t ready , you took my by surprise ,
Cadd9 D G
you brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise
chorus
Bm C Am D
weather wears the mountains right down into the sea ,
B7 Em D C
so i will stand in the rain until i Am clean
( play this on the second time through on the second chorus )
Bm C Am D
rivers carve the country , a landscape shaped by a stream ,
B7 Em D C
so i will swim in the river as long as you need .
G
we fell in love in the summer , when the skies were clear ,
Cadd9 D G
but i’m still wearing my coat from winter last year
G
i need to set my house in order , confess and cover my sins .
Cadd9 D G
i need to make a home for you before inviting you in
back to chorus x2
Em C D

darling oh my darling you know that everything that i do
Em C G
is to try and make me good enough for you
Em C D
