Verse 1:
(Fingerpicking)
G                        Em
One time, I tried to sing
G                       Em
About spring and a storm
            G Em
But you know
           G Em
How it goes
C                                                    Cm  Cm*
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"
         G Em G Em
All along
          C              Cm        Cm*
Won't you please stop complaining?
                  G Em G Em
I'm playing a song

Chorus 1:
(Strumming)
            G                     C Cm
But all the rain drops in the same
        G                      C Cm
Falling to from where they came
       G               C        Cm             G
And in time, they all evaporate back to the sky

(Down, Down, Up-Slap)
(Fingerpick, starting on second note of the pattern for the first G)
G x2 Em

Verse 2:
(Strumming)
  G                           Em
I wish you could've heard the music
         G                      Em
When the clouds growled overhead
  G                    Em
I finally felt enthusiastic
  G             A
I finally felt alive
C                                                    Cm  Cm*
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"
           G Em G Em
So you said
          C             Cm     Cm*
"Would it please you to listen
                    G Em G Em
To thunder instead?"

Chorus 2:
(Aggressive strumming)
         G                      C Cm
Man, the rain came down that day
              G              C Cm
And it drained my dreams away
       G           C        Cm         G C Cm
And I almost never tried to try anymore

E|----0-3---3-0---2-------------0-3---3-0---2---------|
C|--0-----2-----2---2-0-4-2---0-----2---------2-0-4-2-|

Bridge:
(Fingerpicking)
       G
Mr. Moon?

Em
Yeah?

                  G   Em
Tell us about the sky!

    G               Em                 G   Em
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
      G                  Em                       G
Many people think that's where you go when you die

Em
Do you?

       G                          C Cm
Well I think you return to obscure
       G               C            Cm
Or wherever you were before you were
    G               C        Cm              G C Cm
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain

(Strumming)
          G                 C Cm
We have so much left to sing
               G                C Cm
There's a storm for every spring
        G                C     Cm              G C Cm
All you see, and you and me, became from a star

(alternatively, play the following, ending when you go back to fingerpicking:

Joe:

You're a star
           G C Cm
Yes you are

You're a star

G          C         D          C
Silent explosive and silent explosive (Yes you are)
    G          C         D          C
And silent explosive and silent explosive (You're a star)
    G          C         D          C
And silent explosive and silent explosive (Yes you are)
    G          C         D          C    Cm7
And silent explosive and silent explosive

Outro:
Gb           Eb         F          Eb
Create until nothing is left to create
        Gb       Eb             F          Eb
And the universe bursts with an overworked sigh
       Gb          Eb        F            Eb
And pretend to, pretend to recrown the creation
    Gb            Eb             F               Eb
And sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry
         Gb       Eb       F     Eb
And then over and over and over again
         Gb       Eb              Ebm
And then over and over and never again
