[Verse 1]
G               D            F            C
rain kissed the sidewalk and followed you home
     G          D          F           C
your hoods your umbrella until you get home
   G              D           F              C
to wipe off your sneakers and clean off your plate
G           D            F           C
finish your homework and bedtimes at 8

[Chorus]
Am                               C
the end of the hallway marks the end of the day
Am                C
crawl under the covers
    G Am C    G Am C
and cry,      cry,
      Am                 C
not a sigh of relief, a sigh of grief

[Verse 2]
G               D              F             C
rain drops, and tear drops get stuck on your lash
     G           D            F             C
your notebook of stories that you think are trash
      G          D             F             C
could someday be published and bring someone joy
G                  D          F           C
they'd read what's written by the saddest boy

[Chorus]
Am                               C
the end of the hallway marks the end of the day
Am                C
crawl under the covers
    G Am C    G Am C       G Am C
and cry,      cry,          cry
      Am                 C
not a sigh of relief, a sigh of grief
