[Verse 1]
C
My town was a wasteland
G
Full of cages, full of fences
G
Pageant queens and big pretenders
D Em
But for some, it was paradise
C
My boy was a montage
G
A slow-motion, love potion
G
Jumping off things in the ocean
D Em
I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
Em
He was sunshine, I was midnight
[Chorus]
C
Rain
N.C. G
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
N.C. D
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
N.C. Em
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
N.C. C
All of me changed like midnight
[Verse 2]
C
It came like a postcard
G
Picture perfect shiny family
G
Holiday peppermint candy
D Em
But for him, it's every day
C
So I peered through a window
G
A deep portal, time travel
G
All the love we unravel
D Em
And the life I gave away
Em C
'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight rain
[Chorus]
C G
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
G D
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
D Em
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
Em C
All of me changed like midnight
[Chorus]
C
Rain
C G
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
G D
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
D Em
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
Em C
All of me changed like midnight
[Outro]
C
I guess sometimes we all get
G
Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
D
And he never thinks of me
Em
Except for when I'm on TV
C
I guess sometimes we all get
G
Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
D
And I never think of him
Em
Except on midnights like this
Em D Em D Em
