Am                  C            Am 
You shatter me your grip on me a hold on me 
   C                 Am          C  
So dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of  
Am               C                 Am 
Hopelessness and prayers for rain I suffocate I  
C                    Am                C 
Breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate  
    Am             C                    Am 
And drab the hours all spent on killing time 
          C               Am        Bm        C  
Again all waiting for the rain

    Am               C             Am   
You fracture me your hands on me a touch so 
         C                  Am            C     
Plain so stale it kills you strangle me entangle 
      Am               C   
Me in hopelessness and prayers for rain I  
Am            C                Am 
Deteriorate I live in dirt and nowhere glows but  
C            Am                  C  
Drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing  
Am              C                Am 
Time again all waiting for the rain
