[chorus]
[Gm] [Cm] [D]
[Gm]Wise [Cm]men say, it looks like rain today, [D]it crackled on the speakers
[Gm]And [Gm]trickled down the [Eb]sleepy subway trains
[Cm]For heavy [D]eyes could hardly hold us, [Gm]aching [Gm]legs that often [Eb]told us
It’s all worth it. [D]We all fall in love [Gm]sometimes [Cm] [D]

[Opening]
[Gm]The full moon’s [Cm]bright and starlight filled the evening
[D]We wrote it and I played it, [Gm]something [Gm]happened it’s so [Eb]strange this feeling
[Cm]Naive [D]notions that were childish, [Gm]simple tunes [Gm]that tried [Eb]to hide it
But when it comes [D]We all fall in love [Gm] [Cm]sometimes [D]

[verse 2]
[G]Did we, didn’t [Am]we, should we couldn’t [C]we, I’m not sure ’cause [E]sometimes we’re so [Am]blind

[Closing]
[Cm] [D] [Gm] [Gm] [Eb] [Cm] [D] [Gm] [Gm] [Eb] [D]
[G]And [Am]only passing [C]time, could kill [E]the boredom [Am]we acquired
[C]Running with the losers for [D]a while, but our Empty Sky was filled with [C]laughter [G] [C] [G]
[B]Just before the [C] [Am]flood, [D]painting worried faces with [Gm]a smile

[chorus]
[Gm]Wise [Cm]men say, it looks like rain today, [D]it crackled on the speakers
[Gm]And [Gm]trickled down the [Eb]sleepy subway trains
[Cm]For heavy [D]eyes could hardly hold us, [Gm]aching [Gm]legs that often [Eb]told us
