[Verse 2]
F A7
Tired heat hangin’
Dm Bb
On worn out leaves
F C7 A7 Dm
But still they’re bending down over me
Bb F/A
It weighs on the trees
Bb A7
Who buckle and creak
Bb C7 Bb Bbm F/A Abdim7 Bb F/C C7#5#9
The hours movin’ thick as thieves

[Verse 4]
F A7 Dm Bb
Tired eyes sleepin’ on a wind swept page
F C7 A7 Dm
Dreaming as the story tries to fly away
Bb F
Lost too much time
Bb A7
I’m lost all the time
Bb
Re-reading the linеs
Bbm
Re-reading the past
Dm C7 F C7
Rе-reading the last few lines

[Verse 5]
F A7 Dm Bb7b5
I left you as the summer brought down that day
F C7
Baffled in the sun
A7 Dm
You turned hard as clay
Bb F
Day after day
Bb A7
Come wind and come rain
Bb C7 A7 Dm
I pray that you are swept away
