Blue Umbrella

F[C]eelings are strange espe[F]cially when they c[C]ome true

So I tried to rear[F]range all my emo[C]tions
But it seems the same no ma[G]tter what I d[C]o

Chorus:
B[C]lue umbrella r[F]est upon my sho[C]ulder
Hide the pain while the r[G]ain makes up my m[C]ind
Well, my feet are wet from th[F]inking this thing o[C]ver
And it's been so long since I f[F]elt the warm suns[G]hine
J[F]ust give [G]me one good re[C]ason
And I [F]promise I won't a[G]sk you anym[C]ore
J[F]ust give [G]me one extra se[C]ason
So I can figure o[G]ut the other f[C]our

D[C]ayime makes me wo[F]nder why you le[C]ft me
Nighttime makes me wo[G]nder what I s[C]aid
