(Am) Walking down this (Em) empty street
(G) Wind whispers (D) secrets to my feet
(Am)Pictures of you (Em) in my mind
(G) Wishing for your (D) touch, one more time
[Chorus]
(C) I’m a rebel (G) in the rain,
(Am) Dancing with your (Em) ghost, stuck in pain
(C) But I’ve got your (G) love, it’s my chain
(Am) I’m a rebel but (Em) I won’t complain
[Verse 2]
(Am) Traces of you (Em) in this town
(G) Echoes of your (D) laugh, and your frown
(Am)Lost in the (Em) memories we made
(G) A love like ours (D) will never fade
