Cm Bb Ab
It was overcast most of the way.
Cm Bb Ab
Clouds thick with rain that couldn’t pour.
Cm Bb Ab
Something was building up in the water
Cm Bb Ab
Something was building up in the rain.

We were only holding out for nothing, leaving it on bare ground
Bb Ab Bb Cm
When you’re only looking out for yourself, scarcely much is around

Cm Bb Ab
And it couldn’t last, more of the same.
Cm Bb Ab
Slashing up the walls in a canvas room
Cm Bb Ab
Something was building up in the water
Cm Bb Ab
Something was building up in the rain.
Cm Bb Ab
Something was building up in the water
Cm Bb Ab
Sleeping is a simple gesture on the roof
Ab
That’s a half truth.
