[Verse 1]
D
When early this morning it struck without warning,
   C/G           G           D
no signs of an ending this eve.

And in my confusion, I sensed the intrusion
    C/G         G             D
of spirits attempting to leave.

I felt quakes on the frontiers
                               C/G            G           D
so I turned to my good ear her tidal waves in from the sea.

So I ran further inland but I knew in an instant,
        C/G          G            D
these sirens were sounding for me.

[Chorus 1]
        Bm              A            G
And the mountains they fell from the sky.
        Bm              A            G
And the free bird no longer could fly.
       Bm              A            G           D           G      D       G
Well I knew that this day I would die… in the rain. In the rain.

[Verse 2]
         D
Well the scene was quite frightening all the thunder and lightning
    C/G              G       D
was crashing from heavens above.

And I viewed my condition but held strong my position
     C/G          G            D
and prayed for my life and my love.

[Chorus 2]

   Bm           A            G
Then the darkness poured down on the day.
        Bm              A            G
And my eyes turned a deep shade of grey.
        Bm              A            G          D              G
Please forgive me for leaving this way.. in the rain…. In the rain

[Verse 3]
       D
So now hear my confessions with no fear or digressions
   C/G           G            D
as life seems to slip beyond sight.

And I look for the sun now as I stair through my eyebrows
   C/G          G            D
as long as I breathe I will fight.

[Chorus 3]

        Bm           A            G
With my sword still tight to my hand.
        Bm            A            G
Well I tried but no longer could stand.
      Bm              A        G
The hourglass struck its last sand.
           Bm              A              G                          D      G
And not a sound could be heard across the land.. land… land… in the rain.

[Outro]
D               G                      D                           G
In the rain.   Oh in the rain.        In the rain.         Oh in the rain.
