[Intro]
Cadd9 Am Dm G C
[Verse 1]
Cadd9
Oh it's raining in December
Am
And I'm trying to remember
A Dm
All of those years I'd spend
G Cadd9
Wishing for the snow to go away
Cadd9
I don't know if I could tell her
Am
Just how scared I am to lose her
A Dm
Taking things day by day
G Cadd9
And wishing on the rain that she'd stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G C
But all the while she'd already made her mind
Am G
Just trying to keep dry
C D
While I'm playing in puddles of hope
F G
In hopes that we'd bloom
[Chorus]
C
Rain, rain
Am
Don't you go away
Dm
Promise you'll be back one day
G G7 C
Back with your flowers in May
Am
Rain don't you go away
Dm
Promise you'll be back one day
G G7 Cadd9
Cause I can't stand the sun today
Am Dm G Cadd9
[Verse 2]
Cadd9
I was never meant for sunshine
Am
Or a high of 92
Dm G
So I'm prepared to trade my blue skies
Cadd9
If it meant that I'd have you
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G C
But all the while she'd already made her mind
Am G
Just trying to keep dry
C D
While I'm playing in puddles of hope
F G
In hopes that we'd bloom
[Chorus]
C
Rain, rain
Am
Don't you go away
Dm
Promise you'll be back one day
G G7 C
Back with your flowers in May
Am
Rain don't you go away
Dm
Promise you'll be back one day
G G7 Cadd9 D
Cause I can't stand the sun today
[Bridge]
Eb F
Won't you pitter patter away these empty nights
Am G G7
Cause I'm not brave enough to let rain fall from my eyes
[Outro]
Cadd9
Rain, rain
Am
Don't you go away
Cadd9
Rain, rain
Am
Don't you go away
