AmAmAmAm
[Verse 1]
AmCF
The rain came down, the rain came down,
AmGF
The rain came down on me.
Am
The wind blew strong
CFAmGF
And summer's song fades to memory.
[Verse 2]
AmCF
I knew you when, I loved you then,
AmGF
In summer's yawn, now hopeless.
AmCF
You laid me bare and marked me there,
AmGF
The promises we made.
[Chorus]
CAmEm
I used to think, as birds take wing,
FC
They sing through life, so why can't we?
AmEm
We cling to this and claim the best.
FDmC
If this is what you're offering.
AmEmF
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain.
[Verse 3]
AmCAm
The nighttime creases summer schemes
GF
And stretches out to stay.
AmC
The sun shines down, you came around,
AmGF
You loved easy days.
[Verse 4]
AmFC
But now the sun, the winters come.
AmGF
I wanted just to say;
AmF
That if I hold, I'd hope you'd fold,
AmGFC
Open up inside, inside of me.
[Chorus]
CAmEm
I used to think, as birds take wing,
FC
They sing through life, so why can't we?
AmEm
We cling to this and claim the best.
FDmC
If this is what you're offering.
AmEm
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain.
FCAmEmF
I'll take the rain.
[Instrumental]
AmF
[Verse 5]
AmCF
This winter song, I sing along,
AmGF
I've searched its still refrain.
AmF
I walk alone, if given this,
AmGF
Take wing and celebrate the rain.
[Chorus]
CAmEm
I used to think, as birds take wing,
FC
They sing through life, so why can't we?
AmEm
We cling to this and claim the best.
FDmC
If this is what you're offering.
AmEmF
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain.
CAmEmF
I'll take the rain.
[Outro and fade out]
CAmEmF
I'll take the rain.
CAmEmF
I'll take the rain.
