[intro]
Bm[add4] - Bb+/F# - F#


[verse]
D                 A
Two drops falling down,
Bbdim          Bm
Right into the mix.
    A               G
The pastry takes on power,
     A                D   
When tears are in the flower.
D                 A
It rattles in her hands,
    Bbdim          Bm
The fork against the plate.
    A               G
The napkin falls on tiles.
     A             Em      Bb+/F# - F#
The sugar falls in piles.
 

[verse]
D                 A
The superstitious bride,
Bbdim              Bm
Is laughing in the car.
      A               G
She’s lighting little fires,
           A              D  
While he’s outside fixing tires.
D                            A
But the smile fades from her face,
         Bbdim                 Bm
Like her breath fades from the window.
    A               G
Of all the days to rain, 
     A             Em      Bb+/F# - F#
Of all the days to rain.

 
[chorus]
Bm      A    D   Em  A7   Gmaj7 Bb+/F# - F# 
But she held his gaze for days.


[verse] 

D                   A
The children at his knees,
    Bbdim           Bm
Are outside getting wet.
                A               G
They’ve knocked down a bunch of trees,
    A                    D  
And they’re not finished yet.


[verse]

             D             A
Because they saw it in his face,
         Bbdim            Bm
And they heard it when he talked.
            A                  G
They spread nails all over the place,
              A            Em      Bb+/F# - F#  
And then they hid behind a rock.


[chorus]
Bm      A    D   Em  A7   Gmaj7 Bb+/F# - F# 
But she held his gaze for days.


[bridge]
B             Em 
Is it time to tell them?
A                 Gmaj7
Should we make it public?
B              Em
We have such a secret.
A                  Gmaj7   
Is it really worth keeping?
      C9                D
She’s sleeping down the hall.



[instrumental verse]
D  A  Bbdim  Bm  A  G  A  D
D  A  Bbdim  Bm  A  G  A  Em  Bb+/F# - F# 


[chorus] 
Bm      A    D   Em  A7   Gmaj7 Bb+/F# - F# 
And she held his gaze for days.
