[Verse]
If blood will Em7flow, when flesh and Am7steel are one
B7+5Drying in the B7sus4colour B7of the Emadd9evening Emsun
Tomorrow's Em7rain will wash the Am7stains away
But B7+5something in our B7sus4minds will B7always Emadd9stay Em
[Verse]
PerEm7haps this final act was meant to Am7clinch a lifetime's argument
That B7+5nothing comes from B7sus4vio - B7lence and Emadd9nothing ever Emcould
For Em7all those born beneath an angry Am7star
Lest B7+5we forget how B7sus4fragile B7we Emadd9are Em
[Chorus]
C6On and on the B7+5rain will fall
Like Emtears from a star
Like Emtears from a star
C6On and on the B7+5rain will say
How Emfragile we are
How Emfragile we are
