I’m sitting on the curb outside our house
    C                                              F
The sun’s coming up and my mind is filled with all kindsa doubt
                C
The clouds hang low

verse 2:
C
I Lost my keys so I can’t get in
    C                                             F
But I don’t want to wake you up ’cause I know you need your sleep

You work too hard

pre-chorus:
      Am                                     Dm
I can smell the rain sneaking up on me and I guess it serves me right
Dm                                             F
Through all these years we’ve shared it’s been right there by our side
        G
Pouring down

chorus:
             C                                       Am
Oh didn’t it rain when I said I’d keep you safe from harm
           Dm                              C              G
And when I promised to take you away but I only took you apart
             C
Oh didn’t it rain when I flushed our dreams down the drain
     Am
on a flip of a card
             Dm
And when the doctor sat us down to explain our options
      C             G          C
and I cried all the way to the car

solo:
C  F  C  Dm  G
verse 3:
   C
My legs only carried me this far
  C                                            F
I Lean my back against the neighbour’s beat-up family car
               C
That I used to own
C
A busted hand, a torn up shirt
C                                             F
I know I promised not to put you through this kinda hurt
              C
But I play my part

pre-chorus:
  Am
I spent our summers planning for September
       Dm
but it never came to nothing at all
Dm                                F
October nights I’d lay awake just listening to the rainfall
       G
On the roof

chorus:
             C                                       Am
Oh didn’t it rain when I said I’d keep you safe from harm
           Dm                              C              G
And when I promised to take you away but I only took you apart
             C
Oh didn’t it rain when I flushed our dreams down the drain
     Am
on a flip of a card
             Dm
And when the doctor sat us down to explain our options
      C             G          C
and I cried all the way to the car
