Am                  C            Am
You shatter me your grip on me a hold on me
   C                 Am          C
So dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of
Am               C                 Am
Hopelessness and prayers for rain I suffocate I
C                    Am                C
Breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate
    Am             C                    Am
And drab the hours all spent on killing time
          C               Am        Bm        C
Again all waiting for the rain
Am C Bm C

    Am               C             Am
You fracture me your hands on me a touch so
         C                  Am            C
Plain so stale it kills you strangle me entangle
      Am               C
Me in hopelessness and prayers for rain I
Am            C                Am
Deteriorate I live in dirt and nowhere glows but
C            Am                  C
Drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing
Am              C                Am
Time again all waiting for the rain
