Verse 1
You ran (D major) up against the rain
Everyday of your short life
(G major) Suffered for your muse without (E minor)
complain (D major) ing (A major)
Never (D major) heard you swear life (A major) isn't fair
(D major) But it doesn't make it right
You (E minor) left the world knowing all
too well what pain (A major) is.

Verse 2
You took it (G major) on yourself
to pave (A major) the road to hell (D major)
Paid your dues (G major) and sang the blues (A major)
Lord, you (D major) knew them all too well
Every (G major) word upon the page (A major)
You (F sharp major) let them sail away (G major)
The (E minor) wind would blow,
and then you'd go
(Asus4) Up against the rain. (D major)
(A major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 3
You (D major) listen to the songs
And then you wrote your own (G major)
Somewhere along the way
You passed the muse (D major) along (A major)
I feel your (D major) presence in this room
Beneath the wailing moon (G major)
It's (E minor) good to know that dying
couldn't tame (Asus4) you (A major)
You took it (G major) on yourself to pave
Verse 4
(A major)
the road to hell (D major)
Paid your dues (G major) and sang the blues (A major)
Lord, you knew (D major) them all too well
Every (G major) word upon the page (A major)
You (F sharp major) let them sail away (G major)
The (E minor) wind would blow,
and then you'd go
(Asus4) Up (A major) against the rain.
(D major) (E minor)
Verse 5
(Asus4) (A major)
Last (D major) night the weather turned
This (G major) morning we (D major) had snow (G major)
Today they'll lay you (D major) in
the ground (A major)
Someday (D major) we'll all know
Where it (G major) is we go
(D major) My (E minor) tears will say goodbye
While the (A major) rain is coming down
Verse 6
You took it (G major) on yourself
to pave (A major) the road to hell (D major)
Paid your dues (G major) and sang the blues (A major)
Lord, you knew (D major) them all too well
Every (G major) word upon the page (A major)
You (F sharp major) let them sail away (G major)
The (E minor) wind would blow,
and (Asus4) (D major) (E minor) then you'd go (Asus4)
(A major) Up against the (D major) rain.
