There hadn't been a day when everything had turned out right,
She called me up and asked me to come over in the night

To make her cups of tea and listen quietly as she starts
To list the latest bunch of bastards who trampled on her

She summers by my seat,
She winters without me

I see her in the nightclubs,
I meet her in the bars,
At rooftop after-parties,
All crammed into friends cars

And we talk about the weather,
And how she drowns her pain in drink,

E |3---3---3---3---|5---5---5---5---||

And i nod, and never ever dare
To tell her what i think.

That it's not about the days when everything has turned out right,
It's more about the moments when she calls me in the night.

To make her cups of tea and wash the weary worries from her head,
And then to draw the pain out slowly as i put her into bed.
