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.
