[Verse 1]
D        G               D          G
In every sea there’s a mouth of a river
      D         G           D
Where waterfall riches flow down
G           Cmaj7  Em7   Cmaj7
Why do they cry?
Em7          D    G    D    G
No one knows why


D        G                 D        G
In every mouth there’s a word of forgiveness
     D             G          D
That melts all the ice to the ground
G          F6/9  C6/9  F6/9
Why do you sigh?
C6/9           D    G  D
I don’t know why


[Chorus]
G           G#m7 C#m7 G#m7
Why does the sky fall down
C#m7  Cm7 Fm7 D#m7
Like pouring rain?
    F#/G#
To let it flow again
F#m             A
Gonna make you feel alright
G#m                         C#m
Take your dreams, keep them out of sight
F#              A
Wanna make you come alive
G#m                       C#m
Close your eyes, keep you warm at night
G                  A           G
  So come a little closer to me
                 A             G
So many things I want you to see
E/B G/B D
My darling

[Verse 3]
D        G            D
In every laugh is the sorrow
   G          D                   G            D
Of all of the tears that you’ve held for so long
      G           F6/9   C6/9   F6/9
Would you make me cry?
    C6/9       D    G   D   G
Oh, let me run dry
D        G            D         G
In every tear are the eyes of a father
     D          G               D
And mother that brought you to see
G    F6/9  C6/9  F6/9
Sing lullaby
   C6/9    D           G       D
As you say goodnight, night, night (goodnight)


[Chorus]
G          G#m   C#m  G#m
Why do the stars look down (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10)
C#m Cm7  Fm7 D#m
And feel no shame (Counting up the droplets of the tears falling from the sky)
     F#/G#
When they are all the same?
F#m7           A
Gonna set your mind alight
G#m7                     C#m7
Keep you close to me and hold you tight
F#m7           A
Wanna keep you burning bright
G#m7                         C#m7
Take your words, shine them like a light
G(add2)            A(add2)
  So come a little closer to me (Come a little closer)
G(add2)          A(add2)
So many things I want you to see (Many things I want you to see)
G  E/B G/B D
   My darling

[Outro]
D         G          D            G
In every soul is the need to grow older
   D            G          D
To speed up the passing of time
G              F6/9  C6/9  F6/9
I don’t know why
C6/9            D   G D G D G D
But it makes me cry
