Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
D G A
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
D G A
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Bm Em G A
And maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong
D G A
But tonight you’re on my mind so you never know
Chorus
Bm G
Lover, you should’ve come over
D A
’Cause it’s not too late
Bm G
Lonely is the night when I’m not by your side
D A
Lover, you should’ve come over
Verse 2
D G A
I feel too young to hold on, I’m much too old to break free and run
D G A
Too deaf, dumb and blind to see the damage I’ve done
Bm Em
Sweet lover, you should’ve come over
G A D
Oh, love, well I’m waiting for you
