G / Am                           Am / C

G   /  Am                        Am  G
       well we made them to be broken
       sorry if they let you down
                           Am / C
       sorry if the ones you know
C
are vanishing all over town

G   /  Am                          Am  G
       mmm   and I need someone to hold me
       and I ask you to be fair
                                   Am / C
      and you'd like to give me something
C
but we both know, there ain't a lot, ain't a lot to share

      C              Em(VII)
they can't turn on a rain machine
      C                Am
they tell me  there is no more space
