A        xx7655 (in intro and interlude)
E7add11  xx6755 (/G#)
E7       xx6754 (/G#)
[Intro]
A    E7add11    A    E7
Weary sAun, sleep tonigEht, go craDshing into the ocEean
ACut the line that tiEes the tide and Dmoon, ancient and bElue
AWe take our emEpty hearts and fDill them up with brEoken things
ATo hang on humEming wire like chDeap lamps down a deEad end street
(BmClose your weary eyes) BEut every time we turn aBmway (until the wintertime) iEt surges like a tidal wave
AI would change for you but, babe, that Edoesn't mean I'm gonna be Da better man
Give the oAcean what I took from you so oEne day you could find it Din the sand
And hold it in yEour hands again
ACold ways kill coEol lovers, stranDge ways we uEse each other
AWhy won't you faEll back in love wiDth me?E  
AThere ain't no way we're gonna fiEnd another, tDhe way we sleep all sumEmer
ASo why won't you fEall back in love wiDth me?E  
   F#mCombing over EBroken Cross I hDeld on yAou-E7add11ou
   F#mHaunted by the Eghost of somethinDg new
[Interlude]
A    E7add11    A    E7
Curtains faAll, fashions faEde, an endlDess summer ovEer
AAnother tide to laEunch an autumn moDon over the dunesE  
AThere must be a beEtter way to pull a whDole apart To keep a woErld from caving in
AAnother way to whiEle away from yDou, frozen and bElue
(Close your weary eBmyes) But every time we tEurn away (until the winBmtertime) it surges like a tiEdal wave
AI would change for you but, babe, that Edoesn't mean I'm gonna be Da better man
Give the oAcean what I took from you so oEne day you could find it Din the sand
And hold it in yEour hands again
ACold ways kill coEol lovers, stranDge ways we uEse each other
AWhy won't you faEll back in love wiDth me?E  
AThere ain't no way we're gonna fiEnd another, tDhe way we sleep all sumEmer
ASo why won't you fEall back in love wiDth me?E  
ASo why won't you fEall back in love wiDth me?E  
ASo why won't you fEall back in love wiDth me?E  
ASo why won't you fEall back in love wiDth me?E  
ASo why won't you fEall back in love with Dme?

(from the album Dignity & Shame)

A xx7655 (in intro and interlude)

E7add11 xx6755 (/G#)

E7 xx6754 (/G#)

[Intro]

A E7add11 A E7

A E D E

Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean

A E D E

Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue

A E D E

We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things

A E D E

To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street

Bm E Bm E

(Close your weary eyes) But every time we turn away (until the wintertime) it surges like a tidal wave

A E D

I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man

A E D

Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand

And hold it in your hands again

A E D E

Cold ways kill cool lovers, strange ways we use each other

A E D E

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

A E D E

There ain't no way we're gonna find another, the way we sleep all summer

A E D E

So why won't you fall back in love with me?

F#m E D A E7add11

Combing over Broken Cross I held on you-ou

F#m E D

Haunted by the ghost of something new

[Interlude]

A E7add11 A E7

A E D E

Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over

A E D E

Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes

A E D E

There must be a better way to pull a whole apart To keep a world from caving in

A E D E

Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue

Bm E Bm E

(Close your weary eyes) But every time we turn away (until the wintertime) it surges like a tidal wave

A E D

I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man

A E D

Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand

And hold it in your hands again

A E D E

Cold ways kill cool lovers, strange ways we use each other

A E D E

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

A E D E

There ain't no way we're gonna find another, the way we sleep all summer

A E D E

So why won't you fall back in love with me?

A E D E

So why won't you fall back in love with me?

A E D E

So why won't you fall back in love with me?

A E D E

So why won't you fall back in love with me?

A E D

So why won't you fall back in love with me?
