Verse 1:
A
I believe I've attempted every move that I know
E7
I was sure that by now you'd have let yourself go
A                                              AwalkupD
I've been loving my heart out, and without any shame
D                               E7
Gotten down on my knees just to kindle this flame

Chorus 1:
A
But tonight I am down to the wire
A                                   E7
I've been striking these matches in vain
E7
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
E7                                A
'Cause you've got a heart full of rain

Verse 2:
Now somewhere in your history there's a reason or two
Why you won't let a body get close to you
Why the truth that I whisper always sounds like a lie
Why you're drowning inside from the tears you don't cry

Chorus 2:
But your blue eyes have never been dryer
And you smile like you're feeling no pain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
E7                             AwalkupD
'Cause you've got a heart full of rain

Bridge:
D                                           A
I had hoped I could open the heart that you hide
E7
'Cause it sure needs a little sunshine inside

Chorus 1:

Tag:
E7                             A   DwalkdnA
'Cause you've got a heart full of rain
