You only need two fingers to play this. Mostly because there's a keyboard
and synthesizer in the background with the beats. Standard tuning.
note: -10- means play the 10th fret. Not 1 then 0. You DON'T play the 1st
fret in this song at all so I've tabbed 10 and 12 without brackets. And when
I use a bracket like (0) it means you can play the note but it sounds fine
with or without it, so it's up to you if you want to play the note or not.
*Rift 1*

*R1*(Rift 1)
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
Chorus *Rift 2*
Am F G Dm

*R1 & R3*
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of ev'ryone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout, down to me
Where I always used to be
*R2*
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
*R1 & R3*
Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess?
I've been hangin' 'round your old address
And the years have proved
To offer nothin' since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on
*R2*
And I miss you
Oh-oh (Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) And I miss you
(Rift 4)
Am Em

*R4*
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
Pass your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
*R2*
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, and I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) Like the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
