Full Lyrics with Chord Progression:
(Verse 1)
[C] Walking down the [G] memory lane
[D] Found your picture in the [Em] pouring rain
[C] Sifting through the [G] cracks in the pavement
[D] I see your face and it’s [Em] still the same
(Chorus)
[G] We’re just like the [D] cracks in the pavement
[C] Trying to fill the [Em] void with colourful cement
[G] But no matter the [D] paint or the pavement
[C] Our hearts still bear the [Em] same lament
(Verse 2)
[C] Echoes of your [G] laughter fill the air
[D] Lost in time, it’s [Em] only fair
[C] The cracks deepen [G] with time and despair
[D] I miss you more, it’s [Em] hard to bear
(Chorus)
[G] We’re just like the [D] cracks in the pavement
[C] Trying to fill the [Em] void with colourful cement
[G] But no matter the [D] paint or the pavement
[C] Our hearts still bear the [Em] same lament
(Outro)
[C] I’ll keep walking [G] down this memory lane
[D] Until I find you [Em] in the rain
[C] Until then, I’ll [G] stare at the cracks in the pavement
[D] Holding onto your [Em] sweet refrain
