🎸 Verse 1:
G
He took a bus to meet me
G
In a bar in a Tuscan hill
G
A sight I'd never seen
G

I believe in God still
G
But, wouldn't be able to stop me if I feel like running away
                          A G
Wouldn't be able to stop me if I didn't want to stay

🎸 Verse 2:
G
And the rain fell on the houses
G
And the rain fell on the trees
G
It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceased
                  A
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

🎸 Verse 3:
G
Said he'd been sleeping lonely spending nights under the stars
G
Little darling, we're all lonely we don't all show our scars

This is my heart and my burden
Am7
And I would never bring you down like that
G
My heart, my burden
G
I would never bring you down with me

🎸 Verse 4:
G
And the rain fell on the towers
G
And on the () swaying trees
G
And it hammered and raged on us unwillingly

The believers were forewarned and they ran into the storm
  Gmaj7        Am7
And watched the Earth's light flicker and fail

They watched the Earth's light flicker and fail
Gmaj7
Flicker and
Am7     G
Flicker and fail
