Verse:
C G Am F
The drought was the very worst
C G Am F
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
C G Am F
It was months and months of back and forth
C G Am F
You're still all over me like a wine-stained suit I can't wear anymore
Pre-Chorus:
G F G F
Hung my head, as I lost the war, and sky turned to black like a perfect storm
Chorus:
C G Am
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
F C
That's when I could finally breathe
G Am F C
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
C G/B C G/B C G/B F
Verse:
C G Am F
There was nothing left to do
C G Am F
When the butterflies turned to dust covering my room
C G Am F
So I punched a hole in the roof
C G Am F
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
Pre-Chorus:
G F G F
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but nobody heard a thing
Chorus:
C G Am
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
F C
That's when I could finally breathe
G Am F
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
Bridge:
Am G/B Am F Am F
10 months sober, I must admit
Am G/B Am F Am F
Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
Am G/B C
10 months older I won't give in
F
Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it
Now I'm never gonna risk it
Chorus:
C G Am
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
F C
That's when I could finally breathe
G Am F
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
C G Am
It came pouring down when I was drowning
F C
That's when I could finally breathe
G Am F
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you
C G
Ah..
Am F
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace,
C G
Ah..
Am F
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace,
C G
Ah.. Ah..
Am F
Gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you,
C G
Ah..
Am F
