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