as soon as the tide comes in
Intro
D A/C# G A D A/C# G A D
D D/C# G D
You'd better get some sleep for a change
D/C# G A D
Before tomorrow brings you down
D/C# G D
By three o'clock they'll both be sitting on that plane
Bm7 A
Hopelessly honeymoon bound
D D/C# G D
And I hope no one asks you to kiss this bride
D/C# G
Or tie tin cans to the car
A D D/C# G D
And if friends and relations mingle outside
F#7 Bm
You can linger at the bar
G D G D D7
So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon
G Gm
Let the action begin
D G
Cos it's as sure as sunrise and sure as time
A D A/C# G A
The bride will be changing and you will be crying
D A/C# G A D A
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
You'll feel like some soap opera star
Predictably hitting the booze
With your standard issue broken heart
You step into your Saturday shoes
And you might feel better if you slapped her face
Or slipped some pills in his wine
But instead some voice in your head keeps saying
You'll look back and laugh sometime
So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon
Let the action begin
Cos it's as sure as sunrise and as sure as time
The bride will be changing and you will be crying
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
A D
So put on your lipstick and check that you hat's straight too
A Bm A D
Cos if they can go through with it you can do it too
So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon
Let the action begin
Cos it's as sure as sunrise and as sure as time
The bride will be changing and you will be crying
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
