I never wanted to be your weekend lover
E MajorE               Dadd9no3
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
   Aadd9no3               Aadd9no3/F#
Baby, I could never steal you from another, oh no
E MajorE
Such a shame our friendship had to end

purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know times are wasted
It's time we all reach out for something new and that means you too
You say you want a leader but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it, well, let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain

Purple rain
