Am

The rain came down

F

The rain came down

Am             G      F  (for all the verse)		

The rain came down on me

The wind blew strong

And summer's song

It fades to memory

I knew you when

I loved you then

In summer's yawn,

Now hopeless

You laid me bare

And marked me there

The promises we made



C	      Am

I used to think,

        Em

As birds take wing,

	    F		(is this for all the corus)

They sing through life,

So why can't we?

We cling to this,

And claim the best

If this is what you're offering

I'll take the rain,

I'll take the rain,



The nighttime creases

Summer schemes

And stretches out to stay

The sun shines down

You came around

You love the easy days



But now the sun,

The winter's come

I wanted just to say

That if I hold

I'd hope you'd fold

And open up inside,

Inside of me



I used to think,

As birds take wing,

They sing through life,

So why can't we?

We cling to this,

And claim the best

If this is what you're offering

I'll take the rain,

I'll take the rain,

I'll take the rain



This winter's song

I'll sing along

I've searched

Its still refrain

I'll walk alone

If given this

Take wing, and

Celebrate the rain



I used to think,

As birds take wing,

They sing through life,

So why can't we?

We cling to this,

And claim the best

If this is what you're offering

I'll take the rain,

I'll take the rain,

I'll take the rain





Try to catch the solo cause in can't =)
