[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.
