C          G 
Hey babe skies are looking gray 
Em                             D 
I'll be missing you when it's snowing on my day 
             C     G 
I guess for now I got nothing to say 
D                                Em 
I sit and wait for the time when you won't have to stray

  D                               Em 
a fresh coat for the ground but I still can't make her stay 
                C                    G 
Can't make her stay. Can't make her stay 
   Em                                      D (ring our) 
A clean white slate is falling down and I still can't make her stay
