verse
I s[G]hould have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared.
After all, getting [Cadd9]half of what you [D]wish for isn't so rare.
But[G] still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise,
you brought a [Cadd9]light to my dark like a [D]word from the w[G]ise
chorus
[Bm]Weather wears the [C]mountains [Am]right down into the s[D]ea,
so [B7]I will stand in the [Em]rain until [D]I am [C]clean
(play this on the second time through on the second chorus)
[Bm]Rivers carve the [C]country, a [Am]landscape shaped by a s[D]tream,
so [B7]I will swim in the ri[Em]ver as l[D]ong as you n[C]eed.
We [G]fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear,
but I[Cadd9]'m still wearing my [D]coat from winter last ye[G]ar
I n[G]eed to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins.
I need to [Cadd9]make a home for y[D]ou before inviting you [G]in
back to chorus x2
[Em] [C] [D]
[G/Gb] Darling oh my darling you know that everything that I do
is to [Em]try and make me go[C]od enough for yo[G]u
[Em] [C] [D]
D[G/b]arling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go,
I'm just t[Em]rying to find the f[C]astest way back [G]home.
("back home.....")
