[Verse 1]


Looking out th

e door
              
I see the rain

              
 fall upon the

    
 funeral mourn

ers

Parading in a 

wake of sad re

lations
              
As their shoes

         
 fill up with 


water
         
           And

            
 maybe I'm too

         
 young
            
To keep good l

     
ove from going

      
 wrong
             
But tonight, y

            
ou're on my mi

  
nd so
You'll never know


Broken down an

d hungry for y

our love
         
With no way to

  
 feed it
  
Where are you 

tonight?
              
Child you know

        
 how much I ne


ed it
         
           Too

            
 young to hold

       
 on
           
And too old to

      
 just break fr

               
ee and run


[Chorus]

            
   Sometimes a

          
 man gets carr

ied away,
            
When he feels 

              
like he should

              
 be having his

 
 fun
             
And much too b

             
lind to see th

              
e damage he's 

 
done

Sometimes a ma

n must awake t

o find that, r

eally,
            
He has    no-o

   
ne...
          
      So I'll 

            
wait for you..


. and I'll bur

n
            
      Oh, will

              
 I ever see yo

      
ur sweet retur

n?

      Oh, will

 I ever learn?
       
      Oh,     

     
oh,     oh, lo

#    
ver, you shoul

       
d've come over

              
'Cause it's no

                    
t too late


[Verse 2]


Lonely is the 

room, the bed 

is made
              
The open windo

      
w lets the rai

n in

Burning in the

 corner is the

 only one
              
who dreams he 

    
had you with h

im
         
          My b

     
ody turns and 

         
yearns for a s

  
leep
           
That won't eve

  
r come
      
It's never ove

r,
              
My kingdom for

        
 a kiss upon h

              
er shoulder
           
It's never ove

r, all my rich

es for her smi

les
             
When I slept s

       
o soft against

         
 her...
         
It's never ove

r,
              
All my blood f

             
or the sweetne

       
ss of her laug

        
hter
         
It's never ove

r, she's the t

ear
             
That hangs ins

         
ide my soul fo

       
rever
         
           May

              
be I'm just to

    
o young
         
To keep good l

        
ove from going

          
 wrong

Oh.......Oh..O

I'm much too h

              
old to break f

       
ree and run
    
Too deaf, dumb

 and blind
              
To see the dam

        
age I've done

      
Sweeeeet looov

Oh, love I'm waiting for you

Note : the progression, at the end of the chorus: Aadd9/C#, Aadd9/B, Aadd9,
       Aadd9/F# isn't very close to the original. Send me your corrections.
