This Time I Ain't Getting It Wrong 15 May 2015

The verses poured out of me one night as the rain was pounding and my marriage was crumbling. The chorus appeared a few weeks later on a beautiful spring day while sitting at the picnic bench at The Shipe Shire. The juxtaposition of the chorus and the verse covers the ground of hope and fear, I think. The bridge really is very literal here!

lyrics

I hear the rain on the window I feel the same when you're too low
Em G G7
With Your tears on my heart
C/G Am
The night grows long and Sleep don't come
Em G F
With your tears on my heart
CHORUS
F C
This could be the start of a sad song
F C F
Or we can make it work out for a long, long time
F C
It's certainly the start of a love song
Bb F C
This time I aint getting' it wrong
C/G DC Am
Driving down the road to cross another bridge
C/G
I carry your load through cloudy nights of mist
Em G
With your tears on my heart
C/G Am
I dream your dream both day and night
Em G
Every one bigger than the last
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Am Bm C Bdim Bbm
All these roads have led to you
C/G D/A Am
I feel your rain in my eyes
And though you drive away you always return to my side
Em G G7
You've crossed the bridge into my heart
CHORUS
