Intro:
| Dadd11 | % | % | % |
| G C | G C | G C | G C |


Verse:
G      C       G
 I hear the drizzle of the rain
Am   Am7 C   Bm
 Like a memory it falls
G     Bm   G  C
 Soft and warm continuing
Am    Am7  D   | G C | G C | G C | G C |
 Tapping on my roof and walls
Verse:
G       C      | G C | G |
 And from the shelter of my mind
Am      Am7  C   Bm
 Through the window of my eyes
 G   Bm    G       C
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets
Am     D    | G C | G C | G C | G C |
 To England where my heart lies


Interlude:
| Dadd11 | % | % | Dadd11 C  |
| G C | G C | G C | G C |


Verse:
G       C       G
 My mind's distracted and diffused
Am        Am7 C   Bm
 My thoughts are many miles away
   G    Bm    G    C
They lie with you when you're asleep
  Am    Am7     D      | G C | G C | G C | G C |
And kiss you when you-ou-ou start your day


Verse:
   G     C        G
And a song I was writing is left undone
Am      Am7  C    Bm
 I don't know why I spent my time
G    Bm   G    C
 Writing songs I can't believe
   Am     Am7   D     | G C | G C | G C | G C |
With words that tear a-a-nd strain to rhyme


Interlude:
| Dadd11 | % | % | Dadd11 C |
| G C | G C | G C | G C |


Verse:
G      C         G
 And so you see I have come to doubt
Am    Am7  C    Bm
 All that I once held as true
G     Bm    G   C
 I stand alone without beliefs
  Am  Am7   D   | G C | G C | G C | G C |
The only truth I know is you


Verse:
G     C         G
 And as I watch the drops of rain
Am      Am7  C     Bm
 Weave their weary paths and die
G      Bm  G    C
 I know that I am like the rain
Am     Am7       D  | G C | G C | G C | G C |
 There but for the grace of you go I


Instrumental verse: (+ coda)
| G | Gadd9 | G | % | % |
| Am | Am7 | C | Bm | % |
| G | Bm | G | C | % |
| Am | Am7 | D/A | G
