Key: D major
Verse 1
D
Well, it rained all morning on the windowsill
I sat and watched him play guitar until
G
D
My thoughts all came as clear as the rain
Well, I gave up drinkin'
cause one's too much
And then the bottles, don't hold enough
Em
A
And it took me years to give it up
Em
A
But I felt I might lose her love
D
G
D
or myself as well
Well, I grew up drinkin' in a railroad town
The trains all left and the yards shut down
Then I played in bands and bars,
accumulating body shots and cigars
G
D
G
D
Way up light, sat and drank all night
Em
A
It took me years to give it up,
Em
A
but I felt I might lose her
Em
A
A perfect life for a guy like me
Em
A
The kind of life people pay to see
D
G
Em
G
D
G
You be that free
D
It seems all our keys all like to swim,
G
D
stay wet on the outside and dry within
G
Em
So I jumped right in,
G
A
D
went for a rainy swim
One with my thoughts and
counting strokes,
lost in the rhythm and the weightless flow
G
D
Like a kid again, playing in the rain
Em
A
And the hardest thing a man can do
Em
A
Is look inside and see the truth
D
G
D
G
Em
G
D
about himself
Well, it rained all mornin' on the windowsill
I sat and watched him play guitar until
G
D
G
D
My thoughts all came clear as
G
Em
G
D
G

the rain
