If it rains – Basia Bulat

—————————————————————————–

This is the first thing I sumbit, please don’t be so harsh on me.

Tuning:Standard

CAPO 1

I don’t mind if it rains
I don’t mind if it rains
If I leave my friends where I found them
Could I make my soul a mountain
Could I tell them not to worry if it rains

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/basia_bulat/if_it_rains_crd.html )
The road is dry up ahead
But the sun might burn me to death
Could the love I had be all grown out
Well the only way to find out
Is to hold them where the sun can’t dry them out

If I never ask for more
Still they say they are sure
Everyone has said those words
Even I’ve heard them before
If it’s easier just to run
I’m as hurried as anyone
But somehow you know
When the wind’s blowing colder
They’ll turn around slower and say to you

I don’t mind if it rains
I don’t mind if it rains
You can leave your friends where you found them
For your soul is still a mountain
You can tell them not to worry if it rains

Impossible to keep the vision against all of me

When I took myself far and away from everyone that I knew

if you’re looking for the moon

is it ever when it’s new

when the iron is cold and the binding holds fast onto you

when I listen for the footsteps that nearly knock me down in the room

the teller is gone, you say, but how else can you really see

I’ll find it by a mile

in a heartbeat you’ll be free and you will

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

keep running back to me
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/basia_bulat/run_crd.html )
Oh the both of our heads you’ve been searching to find a way through

but there’s nothing that I want more than a reason to be following you

when you bring up the matches just remember that I own them all too

if a lie won’t go too deep

in a heartbeat you’ll be free and you will

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

keep running back to me

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

keep running back to me

keep running back to me, to me, to me

A sorry suit, no substitute, I’ve never been so tired

I’ve tried before, I wanted more, no matter what you had

If only you, you you you. You you you would have the heart to take it back

If only you, you you you. You you you would ever have the heart to ask.

And now you’ve said, too many times, that trouble’s walking by.

I’ve met them once or twice before, but never so unkind.

I’ll stand aside, I’ll walk behind, no matter what you had

If only you, you you you. You you you would have the heart to take it back
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/basia_bulat/if_only_you_crd.html )
If only you, you you you. You you you would ever have the mind to ask.

No, don’t I know. that I’ve been this way before.

I’d find my way out of any game of yours.

You can’t deny when it’s me you’re thinking of

And I’ll play along just to give it up.

So now I know I’ve said hello to Jekyll and to Hyde

The trouble is I still can’t say who I want by my side

Truth be told I love them both, and I’m no better half.

If only you, you you you. You you you would have the heart to take it back

If only you, you you you. You you you would ever have the heart to ask.

There is no one who will take me by that shore

Close to the smoke, far from the fire of your harbour.

But if I am awake this time I’ll know

All over your eyes, a storm is rolling over, rolling over, rolling over

Oh you can take away the divine my dear

And comb your hair

And I won’t mind at all.

Even when the thought’s behind

I came just to remind you

I love you so.

There is no one who will take me by that shore
But the waves rushing down
The waves rushing down on your shoulders.
And if I am awake this time I’ll know
All over your eyes, a storm is nearly over
Nearly over

And you can take away the divine my dear
And comb your hair
And I won’t mind at all.
Even when the thought’s behind
I came just to remind you
I love you so
I love you so
I love you so.

Intro C Am G F (2)

Once more for the dollhouse

Will we ever paint the walls

Once more for the mountains

May we find them at our door

Your dreams are so quiet

Don’t you need them anymore

Someday we’ll be lions

And we’ll sing out to them all

[(Am] [Fm)] [(C] [Fm)]
One day when I’m older

Will I find out where you’ve gone

We swore to no strangers

Now they’ve crowded up our hearts

So long to the wreckage

I won’t hide it if it’s wrong

Someday we’ll be lions

We’ll be dancing as before

[(Am] [Fm)] [(C] [Fm)]
Your dreams are so quiet

Don’t you need me anymore

Someday we’ll be lions

We’ll be singing to them all
