Picking on
C am, C am, c F G
C am, C am, C F G am - G - Fm open
this city needs a riot
and i came here to inflame
your solitary heart.
i surely can’t deny it,
heaven sent a saint.
upon your arrival clouds burst into tears
and it suddenly startet to rain, down - on - me
bridge
G 7+,7, F 7 - fm open ://
the longing of my hands and nothing less (tiredness)
drops of rain on my skin are sweet caress
i pray for this moment to never end
or in a little while - to begin again
well 30 tons of water
can’t wash away my sins
but at least they can - clean my dirty hands
I’m still feeling dry now
you left me standing in the rain
and just to get you back here
i’d shoot the drops back into the sky -yes I’d try
