[Verse]
WCalking up the stairs Emtakes me back to where we Amused to bFe
I sCee you everywhere, fEmeel you in the air hAmaunting mFe
EmAll because of you, all I seem to do is cDmount these drops
EmAin't no use in using waterproof when it crFies right off
[Chorus]
All of the hCurt, all of the pEmain
Keeps Amcoming down like blFack rain
All that we wCere, every tEmouch
Leaves a Ammark you can't wFash away
BCoy, you're like a tattoo Emin my head, like you Amnever left this bFed
Me and my teCars with no one to hEmold
Just paAmaaaiiiFinting pCilloooEmoooowwwAmwwwsF  
[Verse]
With Call these works of art, EmI bet I could start a AmgallerFy
I mCake them in the dark fEmrom my broken heart's AmmemoriFes
EmEvery night you fall from my eyes right nDmext to me
I Embet you'd be surprised that your goodbye made a mFasterpiece
[Chorus]
All of the hCurt, all of the pEmain

[Intro]

C Em Am F

[Verse]

C Em Am F

Walking up the stairs takes me back to where we used to be

C Em Am F

I see you everywhere, feel you in the air haunting me

Em Dm

All because of you, all I seem to do is count these drops

Em F

Ain't no use in using waterproof when it cries right off

[Chorus]

C Em

All of the hurt, all of the pain

Am F

Keeps coming down like black rain

C Em

All that we were, every touch

Am F

Leaves a mark you can't wash away

C Em Am F

Boy, you're like a tattoo in my head, like you never left this bed

C Em

Me and my tears with no one to hold

Am F C Em Am F

Just paaaaiiiinting pillooooooowwwwwws

[Verse]

C Em Am F

With all these works of art, I bet I could start a gallery

C Em Am F

I make them in the dark from my broken heart's memories

Em Dm

Every night you fall from my eyes right next to me

Em F

I bet you'd be surprised that your goodbye made a masterpiece

[Chorus]

C Em

All of the hurt, all of the pain

Am F

Keeps coming down like black rain

C Em

All that we were, every touch

Am F

Leaves a mark you can't wash away

Me and my tears with no one to hold

[Bridge]

You'd think my eyes would just dry out

You'd think they would stop

That the lonely'd be gone by now

Oh, but it's not

[Chorus]

All of the hurt, all of the pain

Am F

Keeps coming down like black rain

C Em

All that we were, every touch

Am F

Leaves a mark you can't wash away
