    Ooh do do do do do
 
G
Darling, don't you understand

I feel so ill at ease
Cadd9
The room is full of silence

And it's getting hard to breathe
G
Take this guilded cage of pain

And set me free
Cadd9
Take this overcoat of shame
                Am7            Em7
It never did belong to me   
Dsus4 D            G
      It never did belong to me
G
I need to go outside

I need to leave the smoke
Cadd9
Cause I can't go on living 

In the same sick joke
G
It seems our lives have taken on

A different kind of twist
Cadd9
Now that you have given me

The perfect gift

Am7    Em7

Dsus4  D                        G 
          You have given me the gift

G                           Bb 
For we have fallen from our shelves
F                          G
   To face the truth about ourselves
G                            Bb 
And we have tumbled from our tree
F                    G 
    Tumbled from our tree
G
And I can almost
                      Cadd9         G 
I can almost hear the rain falling
                           Cadd9 
Don't you know it feels so good

Feels so good
Am7                              Em
   So let's go out into the rain again
Dsus4 D                                    G
        Just like we said we always would

Do do do (etc etc)

G    D/F#   F   E
