And tomorrow as always, always comes
SOLmaj7 SOL/LA
As she slips away, He still dumb
REsus2 SIm9
He felt the urge just as she felt the need
SOLmaj7 LA FA#/SIb
Now the need to get out, still carrying his seed,
SOLmaj7 REmaj7
Which trickles down her leg and onto her shoe
FA#m7dim5 SOLmaj7 FA#m7
Onto the pavement and then out of view

Into the gutter and down into a drain
SOLmaj7 LA6 FA#7/SIb
Joining a river and there to remain

There's no going back and there's nothing above
