Verse:

C   G          Am   F
 The drought was the very worst
C      G           Am        F
 When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
C     G               Am    F
 It was months and months of back and forth
C         G        Am             F
 You're still all over me like a wine-stained suit I can't wear anymore

Pre-Chorus:

 G         F         G             F
 Hung my head, as I lost the war, and sky turned to black like a perfect storm


Chorus:

 C     G   Am
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
  F              C
 That's when I could finally breathe
     G    Am            F           C
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

C  G/B C G/B C G/B F


Verse:

C      G       Am   F
 There was nothing left to do
C     G           Am   F
 When the butterflies turned to dust covering my room
C    G          Am   F
 So I punched a hole in the roof
C     G          Am      F
 Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you


 Pre-Chorus:

   G        F          G        F
 The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but nobody heard a thing


 Chorus:

 C     G   Am
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
  F              C
 That's when I could finally breathe
     G    Am            F
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean


 Bridge:

 Am    G/B    Am  F  Am F
 10 months sober, I must admit
 Am         G/B         Am  F    Am F
 Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
 Am    G/B    C
 10 months older I won't give in
        F
 Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it

 Now I'm never gonna risk it


Chorus:

 C     G   Am
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
  F              C
 That's when I could finally breathe
     G    Am            F
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

 C    G   Am
 It came pouring down when I was drowning
  F              C
 That's when I could finally breathe
     G    Am            F
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you
C  G
  Ah..
Am         F
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace,
C  G
   Ah..
Am         F
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace,
C  G
Ah..   Ah..
Am            F
Gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you,
C  G
   Ah..
Am         F

C G Am F
