Here I am baby I'm coming back for more C Am I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore Em Am C Yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong ? Rpt Chorus: Verse 3: C Am Now you and me go parallel together and apart C Am And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart Em Am C D G Did you never feel the distance?

Rpt Chorus: (2x) Verse 4: C Am Sky is crying see the streets are full of tears C Am Rain coming down to wash away my fears Em Em Am C D G And all this writing on the wall, Oh I can read between the lines
