Em          C
A drop in the ocean,
  G             D
A change in the weather,
      Em           C               G         D
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
          Em          C         G           D
Itʼs like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
        Em          C          G
But Iʼm holding you closer than most,
       D          C
ʼCause you are my heaven.

        C              G
I donʼt wanna waste the weekend,
   D                  Em
If you donʼt love me, pretend
  C            G           D
A few more hours, then itʼs time to go.
      C                   G
As my train rolls down the East coast,
  D                 Em
I wonder how youʼll keep warm.
     C          G        D
Itʼs too late to cry, too broken to move on.

Am         G  D
Still I canʼt let you be,
Am         G  D
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Am         G  D               C
Donʼt take what you donʼt need from me.

  Em          C
A drop in the ocean,
  G             D
A change in the weather,
      Em           C               G         D
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
          Em          C         G           D
Itʼs like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
        Em          C          G
But Iʼm holding you closer than most,
       D          C
ʼCause you are my heaven.

C                 G
Misplaced trust and old friends,
D              Em
Never counting regrets,
       C           G               D
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
    C            G
New England as the leaves change;
    D                Em
The last excuse that Iʼll claim,
        C               G              D
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.

Am         G  D
Still I canʼt let you be,
Am         G  D
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Am         G  D               C
Donʼt take what you donʼt need from me.

  Em          C
A drop in the ocean,
  G             D
A change in the weather,
      Em           C               G         D
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
          Em          C         G           D
Itʼs like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
        Em          C          G
But Iʼm holding you closer than most,
       D
ʼCause you are my

Am             G         D
Heaven doesnʼt seem far away anymore.
Am             G         D
Heaven doesnʼt seem far away.
Am             G         D
Heaven doesnʼt seem far away anymore.
Am             G         D
Heaven doesnʼt seem far away.
