[Verse 1]
Fmaj7/C C               F
  She wakes up on her own
     C         Cmaj7  F
And opens her eyes
    C                        
The sun tries to burn through 
     F
the pain
          C             Cmaj7
She still feels inside
     C              F
I've seen you fall apart
  Fmaj7/C             C  
I know you wouldn't care 
                          Cmaj7
(but I wish you were mine)

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7/C C                F
  She   looks into his face
           C         Cmaj7  F
Just to be near him
               C    Cmaj7 
And the clouds come round 
       F
again
              C      Cmaj7
Nothing's changed
                    F
I saw you for a lifetime
  Fmaj7               C   
I know you wouldn't care 
                         Cmaj7
(but I wish you were mine)
        C             
And the rain keeps on 
F        Fmaj7/C
falling
      C        Cmaj7
In my heart
        C             
And the rain keeps on 
F        Fmaj7/C
falling
      C       Cmaj7    Fmaj7/C
In my heart
      C       Cmaj7
In my heart
