C F G7 C
So it's raining again and the wind's up in a roar
F G7 C
I've been swept through the streets to be washed up at your door
F G7 C
But you're with him I know so I'll crawl back later on
F G7 C
Why do I need you so but for love I'd be gone
F G7 C
With my back to the wind I'm wondering what it is about you
F G7 C
That makes it so hard to stay and harder yet to live without you
F G7 C
So I'll look all around but there's nothing here for me
F G7 C
Like a prisoner I'm bound but for you I'd be free
Am F
But for you I'd be on a jet leaving today
Dm C G7
For a place in the sun far away
C Dm
But the rain still comes down
C
And the chilly winds keep blowing
F G7 C
Down these cold empty streets I'm wondering what keeps me going
F G7 C
So I say to myself why do you linger on
F G7 C
And my heart cries to me but for love I'd be gone
G7 C
But for love I'd be gone
