[Verse 1]
A            D          D              E
Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
       A                 D           D      E
I just thought it didn't rain in California
A            D          D                 E
Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
           A             D                D  E
Cause I've never known a love like this before ya

[Verse 2]
A            D               D           E
Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
       A                       D                  D     E
I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
          A               D            D               E
There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
         A                   D           D        E
We're surviving, we're still living, all stronger,  hoo hoo!

I've been cheating on, cheating on you

Am I good for nothing


[Verse 2]
A            D              D             E

       A                     D                         D     E
I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning
    A               D              D              E
And I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
       A                    D               D        E
I just thought the drums of war beat louder warnings,  hoo hoo!

[Verse 3]
A           D               D              E
Baby I know death probably hasn't happened yet
        A              D              D        E
Cause I don't remember livin' life before this
    A              D             D              E
And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
   A                      D            D     E
Unaware that they've been living in a forest
         A  D   E
