G          C/G              G
I hear the drizzle of the rain 
Am     Am/G  D/F#  D7   
Like a memory it falls
G        D/F# G      C
Soft and warm continuing 
Am      Em    D          G    C G
Tapping on my roof and walls 

G            C/G            G
And from the shelter of my mind
Am          Am/G   D/F#     D7   
Through the window of my eyes
G      D/F#        G             C 
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets 
Am    Em             D     G    C G 
To England where my heart lies 

G         C/G            G
My mind's distracted and diffused 
Am       Am/G     D/F#     D7   
My thoughts are many miles away
G             D/F#     G       C
They lie with you when you're asleep 
Am       Em       D              G  C G  
And kiss you when you start your day  

G                C/G                G
And a song I was writing is left undone 
Am        Am/G   D/F#     D7   
I don't know why I spent my time
G       D/F#    G     C   
Writing songs I can't believe 
Am              Em       D         G    C G 
With words that tear and strain to rhyme  

G          C/G                  G
And so you see I have come to doubt 
Am       Am/G   D/F#     D7   
All that I once knew as true
G        D/F#     G     C 
I stand alone without beliefs 
Am       Em      D       G  C G  
The only truth I know is you 

G        C/G                  G
And as I watch the drops of rain 
Am       Am/G   D/F#     D7   
weave their weary paths and die
G           D/F#   G        C
I know that I am like the rain
Am                Em       D      G  C G 
There but for the grace of you go I
