Heartbreak Clouds
Billie Eilish

Verse 1:
    Em             C
    The rain pours down, it’s a broken town
           G                 D
    Shadows chase the light away
         Em               C
    Echoes of our last goodbye
               G              D
    Are the only things that stay

Pre-Chorus:
     Am                  Em
    In my mind, I see your face
       C                        G
    Everywhere, a haunting grace

Chorus:
     C           G
    Heartbreak clouds fill up my sky
          D                 Em
    Drowning out the tears I've cried
        C           G
    Love was here, now it’s gone
          D              Em
    But your memory lingers on

Verse 2:
          Em               C
    Empty rooms and silent calls
           G              D
    Photographs now just mournful walls
         Em                  C
    Whispered promises, lies unveiled
             G                 D
    In a story we've derailed

Pre-Chorus:
     Am                  Em
    In my mind, I see your face
       C                        G
    Everywhere, a haunting grace

Chorus:
     C           G
    Heartbreak clouds fill up my sky
          D                 Em
    Drowning out the tears I've cried
        C           G
    Love was here, now it’s gone
          D              Em
    But your memory lingers on

Bridge:
     Am                  Em
    How do I, turn back time?
         C                     G
    Erase the pain, and make it mine?
     Am                    Em
    Lost in dreams of what we had
         C                 G
    Now I’m left here, should be glad

Chorus:
     C           G
    Heartbreak clouds fill up my sky
         D                  Em
    Drowning out the tears I've cried
        C           G
    Love was here, now it’s gone
          D              Em
    But your memory lingers on

Outro:
     Em          C
    In the dusk, I find my way
          G               D
    Though your ghost, it wants to stay
          Em               C
    Time will heal, this heart that aches
         G             D
    In the dawn, a new day breaks
