[Verse 1]
D G D G
In every sea thereâs a mouth of a river
D G D
Where waterfall riches flow down
G Cmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Why do they cry?
Em7 D G D G
No one knows why
D G D G
In every mouth thereâs a word of forgiveness
D G D
That melts all the ice to the ground
G F6/9 C6/9 F6/9
Why do you sigh?
C6/9 D G D
I donât know why
[Chorus]
G G#m7 C#m7 G#m7
Why does the sky fall down
C#m7 Cm7 Fm7 D#m7
Like pouring rain?
F#/G#
To let it flow again
F#m A
Gonna make you feel alright
G#m C#m
Take your dreams, keep them out of sight
F# A
Wanna make you come alive
G#m C#m
Close your eyes, keep you warm at night
G A G
So come a little closer to me
A G
So many things I want you to see
E/B G/B D
My darling
D G D G D G D G
[Verse 3]
D G D
In every laugh is the sorrow
G D G D
Of all of the tears that youâve held for so long
G F6/9 C6/9 F6/9
Would you make me cry?
C6/9 D G D G
Oh, let me run dry
D G D G
In every tear are the eyes of a father
D G D
And mother that brought you to see
G F6/9 C6/9 F6/9
Sing lullaby
C6/9 D G D
As you say goodnight, night, night (goodnight)
[Chorus]
G G#m C#m G#m
Why do the stars look down (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10)
C#m Cm7 Fm7 D#m
And feel no shame (Counting up the droplets of the tears falling from the sky)
F#/G#
When they are all the same?
F#m7 A
Gonna set your mind alight
G#m7 C#m7
Keep you close to me and hold you tight
F#m7 A
Wanna keep you burning bright
G#m7 C#m7
Take your words, shine them like a light
G(add2) A(add2)
So come a little closer to me (Come a little closer)
G(add2) A(add2)
So many things I want you to see (Many things I want you to see)
G E/B G/B D
My darling
D G D G D G D G
[Outro]
D G D G
In every soul is the need to grow older
D G D
To speed up the passing of time
G F6/9 C6/9 F6/9
I donât know why
C6/9 D G D G D G D
But it makes me cry
