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
