[Am] [Am] [Am] [Am]
[Am] The rain came down, the [C] rain came [F] down
[Am] The rain came [G] down on [F] me
[Am] The wind blew strong
[C] and summer's [F] song [Am] it fades to [G] me[F]mory
{c: }
[Am] I knew you when, [C] I loved you [F] then
[Am] in summer's [G] yawn, now [F] hopeless
[Am] You laid me bare [C] and marked me [F] there
[Am] the promises [G] we [F] made
{c: }
[C] I used to [Am] think, as birds take [Em] wing,
they sing through [F] life, so why can't [C] we?
We cling to [Am] this, and claim the [Em] best
if this is [F] what you're [Dm] offer[C]ing
I'll take the [Am] rain, I'll take the [Em] rain, [F]
{c: }
[Am] The nighttime creases [C] summer [Am] schemes and stretches [G] out to [F] stay
[Am] The sun shine down, [C] you came around, [Am] you loved the [G] easy [F] days
{c: }
[Am] But now the sun, [F] the winters [C] come
[Am] I wanted [G] just to [F] say
[Am] that if I hold [F] I'd hope you'd fold
[Am] and open [G] up in[F]side, inside of [C] me
{c: }
[C] I used to [Am] think, as birds take [Em] wing,
they sing through [F] life, so why can't [C] we?
We cling to [Am] this, and claim the [Em] best
if this is [F] what you're [Dm] offer[C]ing
I'll take the [Am] rain, I'll take the [Em] rain,
[F] I'll take the [C] rain [Am] [Em] [F]
{c: }
[Am] [F]
[Am] This winter's song [C] I'll sing a[F]long
[Am] I've searched its [G] still re[F]frain.
[Am] I'll walk alone [F] if given this
take [Am] wing, and cele[G]brate the [F] rain
{c: }
[C] I used to [Am] think, as birds take [Em] wing,
they sing through [F] life, so why can't [C] we?
We cling to [Am] this, and claim the [Em] best
if this is [F] what you're [Dm] offer[C]ing
I'll take the [Am] rain, I'll take the [Em] rain,
[F] I'll take the [C] rain[Am] [Em] [F]
