Am C
The rain came down The rain came down
Am G F
The rain came down on me
Am C
The wind blew stron And summer's song
Am G F
It fades to memory
Am C
I knew you when I loved you then
Am G F
In summer's yawn, now hopeless
Am C
You laid me bare And marked me there
Am G F
The promises we made
C Am
I used to think, as birds take wing,
Em F
They sing through life, so why can't we?
C Am
We cling to this, and claim the best
Em F
If this is what you're offering
C Am E F
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain
Am C
The nighttime creases Summer schemes
A G F
And stretches out to stay
Am C
The sun shines down You came around
Am G F
You love the easy days
Am C
But now the sun, The winter's come
Am G F
I wanted just to say
Am C
That if I hold I'd hope you'd fold
Am G F
And open up inside, inside of me
(chorus)
C Am
I used to think, as birds take wing,
Em F
They sing through life, so why can't we?
C Am
We cling to this, and claim the best
Em F
If this is what you're offering
C Am E
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain,
F C Am E F
I'll take the rain
