Capo 5

            
I've been burn

             
ed up by the f

ire
              
That makes me 

        
wait for you
            
Been sleeping 

      
on my side 
             
The way you us

      
ed to do
            
And I know jus

            
t where you ar

e
              
You're not so 

    
far away
             
But I can?t co

              
me to you like

 this
             
So I guess I'l

        
l stay away


         
There're thing

s men learn fr

om living
             
Things they le

       
arn in hell
          
Things I learn

ed because my 

father left
             
It's probably 

        
just as well
          
I've been stan

ding here all 

by myself
             
In the pouring

 
 rain
        
I think there'

s someone I sh

ould call righ

t now
             
But I can't re

         
call her name



            
A drop in the 


ocean
             
A change in th

  
e weather
            
I was praying 

             
that you and m

             
e might end up

   
 together
            
It's like wish

             
ing for rain a

             
s I stand in t

   
he desert
            
But I'm holdin

             
g you closer t

    
han most
             
'Cause you are

                      
 my heaven


             
I don't wanna 

          
waste the week

end
             
If you don't l

        
ove me, preten

d
             
A few more hou

             
rs, then it's 


time to go
             
As my train ro

             
lls down the E

ast coast
             
I wonder how y

       
ou'll keep war

m
             
It's too late 

             
to cry, too br

     
oken to move o

n


           
Still I can't 


let you be
           
Most nights I 


hardly sleep
           
Don't take wha

             
t you don't ne

  
ed from me
