Key: D
Intro:
D F#m Bm D G F#m Em D
Verse 1:
D F#m Bm D
Winding down the Drury Lane
G Em D
I fall with the evening rain
D F#m Bm D
My thoughts with the water flow by
G Em D
Like steam rising off the road
G F#m7
Passers-by watch their step
F# Bm Fm7
To see that they don't get wet
Em7
And I'll just sit beneath this tree
A7
Let the drops fall all over me
A7 D
And watch the city lights flick on
Verse 2:
D F#m
The crowds collide just out of my reach
Em7 D
The taxi's lights flash up and down the street
D F#m
I sit and watch the faces go by
Em7 A7 D
I don't wonder where to or why
G F#m7
Cause it's me, the rain, my warm dark pain
F#7 Bm Fm7
Alone at ease and nowhere at all
Em7
My thoughts just drift on back to you
A7sus4 A7
It seems you're here, so it must be true
A7 D
We never parted, you never went away
Chorus:
D G D G
So I order up another glass
D G D G
Not to let the moment pass
D F#m Bm D G
Turning around in love with you
F#m Em D
Oh, I know you loved me too
A D
And it's always been this way
Verse 3:
D F#m
Here sitting in my wet café
Em7 D
I catch a spark across the way
D F#m
A string of tiny painted bells
Em7 A7 D
Seem to have a tale to tell
G F#m
A string of tiny painted bells
F#7 Bm Fm7
On someone that I once knew well
Em
Is all that's left, the rest's not true
A7
I smile, I see it's really you
A7 D
The rain will go, and you will too
Chorus:
D G D G
And I order up another glass
D G D G
Not to let the moment pass
D F#m Bm D G
Turning around in love with you
F#m Em D
Oh, it got too hard to do
A D
And it's always been this way
A D
Yes, it's always been this way
