When they both start to feel the Bsus4same
There's gotta be a reason

All my tears are falling to the floor she Said

Never felt it rain like this before she said
                                       E5Add2    
I'll sing these black eye blues into the storm instead

One breath at a timC#meAsus2  Bsus4  
(same as verse one)
And the kings and queens and little dreams 
stuck inside these nightmares
Sometimes, sometimes
And the fairy tales replay, 
seems so far away 
from where we are tonight, 
sometimes
                   A2Add2
I hear her talking to herself in bed
                             E5Aadd2
