Intro: G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
G Cmaj7
It’s been pouring out, for quite some time
G
The rain won’t cut out
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
And it feels just like I’m…soaked, to the soul,
G Cmaj7
but I know, I still need a drink
G
So won’t you take a seat
Cmaj7
At this table for two
G
A cup of water for me
Cmaj7 Em D/F# G
This umbrella for you, to watch the drops, play out
Em D/F# G
Don’t rush the clouds, they’ll take their bows
C D (x5400x) Em (x7500x)
And float off stage, replaced by sounds
C D…. G G
A thunderous clasp, for shadows on the ground
G Cmaj7
And this dream was real
Cmaj7
My life’s a myth
G
I’m just a tale of a boy
Cmaj7 Em D/F# G
I’m sinking quick into a man, with childish sins
C D G G
Born on his back, nailed to my chin
G
So where do I go from here
Cmaj7
If here is all I have
G
Cuz I can’t show no fear
Cmaj7
Fear will just laugh back
Em D/F#
But maybe that’s just it
G Am G/B C D/F# Em
We’ve forgotten how to laugh to cry, for what matters most
C D G G
So I will find my holy ghost
G
And is there a pot of gold
Cmaj7
That’s waiting for me
G
At the end of this rainbow
C Em D/F# G
Cuz I can’t see the colours shine on me
Em D/F# G
Or the other side of green
C D Em
I won’t let this be the only thing
C D G G
In my heart, I fight to leave
