[Verse 1]
Gm
Needle in the back says I love you baby
Gm                                          Bb
One was a lion and the other was a flock of birds
Gm
Can't tell my head from my heart much lately
Gm                                           Bb
One gets light and the other falls down like her


[Break]
       Gm                    Gm
And it always seems like the longest dream
            Bb               Bb
When you're all alone, is he coming home


[Verse 2]
Gm
Round and round and round they fly
    Gm                           Bb
The needle dips into the dye and I'm yours
Gm
This is just the reason why
    Gm                           Bb
The lion dies and no one tries to call


[Chorus]
                   Dm
But here comes the rain again
C                          Dm/B
Falling down like words of avoidance
                            Bb
I said you're old enough to know this
              C      Dm
So why do you let it get to you
C                             Dm/B
Try to call but no one nobody noticed
                            Bb
I said you're old enough to know this
              C      Dm    Em   F
So why do you let it get to you

[Verse 3]
     Gm
Your father left here when you were still ten
     Gm                                                Bb
With nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing
         Gm
He said "Honey take the kids to your mother's, I
Gm                                            Bb
Think I'm gonna lose control and I don't know why"


[Break]
       Gm                    Gm
And it always seems like the longest dream
            Bb               Bb
When you're all alone, is he coming home


[Chorus]
                   Dm
And here comes the rain again
C                           Dm/B
Falling down like words of avoidance
                            Bb
I said you're old enough to know this
              C      Dm
So why do you let it get to you
C                             Dm/B
Try to call but no one nobody noticed
                            Bb
I said you're old enough to know this
         C
And here comes the rain again

He's just running late again
  C                             Dm/B
I try to call but no one nobody noticed
                            Bb

Come falling down like words of avoidance

Bb            Dm            C

                     Dm/B
You're old enough to know this
                 Bb
You know who you are
