AmI am the one, so it Cwent, 
You threw stones and I lay Fplaying dead, 
With the racing heart of a teenage Amkid.
How do I feel? Like you'd kCnow

I'm kidding myself,
As I'm sFtanding here,
In the Empouring raiAmn.

As the city slept, through the dCark
Bright blue eyes they stFole a lonely heart
And our pulses beat like drums and we laughed

Capo on 3

Am C

I am the one, so it went,

You threw stones and I lay playing dead,

With the racing heart of a teenage kid.

How do I feel? Like you'd know

It doesn't take the brightest mind

To see,to see,

You've broken my heart.

And no, no no no,

It's the shame, shame, shame,

I'm kidding myself,

As I'm standing here,

Em Am

In the pouring rain.

And I wo, wo wo, won’t

Be the same, same, same

I’m kidding myself

As I’m standing here

Em Am

In the pouring rain

As the city slept, through the dark

Bright blue eyes they stole a lonely heart

And our pulses beat like drums and we laughed

Am C

And how do I feel? Like you’d know

It doesn’t take the brightest mind to see, to see.

You’ve broken my Heart

And no, no no no,

It's the shame, shame, shame,

I'm kidding myself,

As I'm standing here,

Em Am

In the pouring rain.

And I wo, wo wo, won’t

Be the same, same, same

I’m kidding myself

As I’m standing here

Em Am

In the pouring rain
