[Intro]

Am |  C  |  Fm7  |   G
Am |  C  |  Fm7  |   G 


[Chorus]

Am                           C 
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F                         G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am                           C 
keeping time to your story loll
F                         G
while you say nothing at all


[Verse 1]

F                   C
you sit with our cigarette ash
G                        Em
under tin roofs and it feels like home
F                   C
we’re just in a nicotine dream
G                              Em          F
of figurative means though the smoke it chokes
                     C
you hide in your metaphors, 
       G                     Em
your fancy words, all those gross abstractions
   F                 C
speak out ‘bout a hero’s frailty
          G              Em
but you never tell me, never tell me why
F                   C
why is it that you have to be 
G             Em
some great, ancient mystery
F                C
I’m resigned to watch the water, 
    G                     Em                F      |    F
it doesn’t falter. such stark contradictions


[Chorus]

Am                           C 
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F                      G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am                           C 
keeping time to your story loll
F                         G
while you say nothing at all 

Am                           C 
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F                         G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am                           C 
keeping time to your story loll
F                         G           |       G
while you say nothing at all

[Verse 2]

F                  C                                                    
and I am the innocent one   
G                         Em
breathing in deep as you heave beside me
F                   C
speaking out with poetic tongue
G                        Em               F   
mask what you’ve done in manic ramblings
                  C
we’re two blue centerlight pops
         G                       Em
and the world goes “ah”, but we miss with each other
F                    C
and you know oh you know you’ve hurt me 
    G                            Em
but you blame gravity said you couldn't catch me
F          C
 even then I believe 
G            Em
no one ever been so naive
F                    C
 and as much as I’d love to hit you        
       G                               Am   G
I’d rather kiss you no I’d rather miss you.


[Chorus]

Am                           C 
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F                      G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am                           C 
keeping time to your story loll
F                         G
while you say nothing at all 

Am                           C 
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F                         G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am                           C 
keeping time to your story loll
F                         G         
while you say nothing at all 
            F             G
At least Heaven’s opening up
            F             G       
At least Heaven’s opening up


[Outro]
