D9Each raindEmrop representing my tearsAm  
GThe teaCrs that I could never let Fout
F/DI felt aloEmne more than everAm

D9My lonelEminess, abandonAmed me at once
GOh, bCut when you, spat those Fwords at me
F/DThe rain just poured doEmwn on me againAm  
FI crGy,
To try to cry my Empain awayAm  
Alone, nobody Faround
I say you pay for Emall the things you've saidAm  
D9Words penetrEmate into everybody's Amsoul
D9And yesEm, I was a victim oAmf your words
GYou suCddenly, said you Floved me
F/DYou were a fool to sEmay such wordsAm  
FI try,G  
To dry my eyes that dEmon't have tears...Am

Who try to break me Fdown
Who try to scratch mEmy dignity awayAm

To show you my weakness, I could never do
With tears running deep inside,
I walked away from you
* Repeat
That I shy away from you
* Repeat
You're really all I want
