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
