 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.
