Verse 1
C C/E Am
Your voice has cradled me to sleep for twenty years or somethin'
F C G
A friend that lives in the TV
C C/E Am
To them you'd never be a person with a drinking problem
F C G
You're just a man behind the screen
Pre-Chorus
C C/E Am
And I was jealous that Joey was your roommate
F C G
But in the real world, you just lived by yourself
C C/E Am
And by the time someone found you, it was too late
F G
It got too much, and you chose Heaven over Hell
Chorus
F C G F
So when the rain starts to pour, I'll be thinking of you
C G F
So no one ever told you life would be this way?
C G Dm
Rewind the scene where they were singing, "I'll be there for you"
F
Why was no one there for you?
Verse 2
C C/E Am
You hid your pain behind a mask they called your sense of humour
F C G
It's torment when the laughter ends
C C/E Am
And all the publications speculating mostly rumours
F C G
Now they pretend to be your friends
Pre-Chorus
C C/E Am
And by the time someone found you, it was too late
F C G
It got too much, and you chose Heaven over Hell
C C/E Am
And all the lighters we hold up won't ease the sadness
F C G
'Cause in the end, all that we need is someone's help

So when the rain starts to pour, I'll be thinking of you

So no one ever warned me life could end that way (No one ever warned me)
