chasing rainbows

billy bragg

the wheels have come off again

and the fault is all mine

what was i thinking?

we were doing just fine

but it hurts me so to hear you say

we'd be better off apart

please don't let my complacent mind

belie my loving heart

you've shot me down again

from out of the blue

if there was something

that i was supposed to do

well there's just no way that everyday

i'll reach your high bench mark

but don't let my complacent mind

belie my loving heart

i know you think if i just tried

we would never fight at all

but i know that will still be days

into which some rain must fall

so i'll do my best to meet the test

but darling

don't forget

if you go chasing rainbows

then you're bound to end up getting wet

so i'll do my best to meet the test

but darling

don't forget

if you go chasing rainbows

then you're bound to end up getting wet

if you go chasing rainbows

you're bound to end up getting wet
