E Bsus4
E Bsus4 C#m7 Bsus4 x4

Verse:

E           Bsus4         C#m7   Bsus4
 There’s no clouds in California
E            Bsus4            C#m7 Bsus4
 And I can’t wait to hear the rain
E                 Bsus4           C#m7    Bsus4
 I’ve changed the seasons waiting for you
E            Bsus4         C#m7       Bsus4      A
 I’m not the same as yesterday, yesterday, yesterday…

Verse:

E          Bsus4       C#m7   Bsus4
 A two-for-one on anaesthesia
E            Bsus4            C#m7 Bsus4
 I tense too much to feel the pain
E          Bsus4             C#m7   Bsus4
 There’s a thrift around the corner
E             Bsus4          C#m7         Bsus4        A
 That laundry bag was all in vain, all in vain, all in vain…

Chorus:

C#m                A
 You’re right, I’m not cut out for the big-time
E               B
 Sit tight, I’m not far out from you tonight
C#m             A
 The time we’ve lost, watching from the inside
E                              B
 I’m just a man, so what’s the plan?
B
 The rain won’t stop me now

Interlude:

E Bsus4 C#m7 Bsus4 x2

Verse:

E        Bsus4           C#m7    Bsus4
 I can’t stop from cannonballing
E         Bsus4               C#m7 Bsus4
 Down the stairs, towards the bay
E             Bsus4           C#m7    Bsus4
 I scrape the green off every morning
E         Bsus4             C#m7            Bsus4           A
 Just too late to kiss your face, kiss your face, kiss your face…

Chorus:

C#m                A
 You’re right, I’m not cut out for the big-time
E               B
 Sit tight, I’m not far out from you tonight
C#m             A
 The time we’ve lost, watching from the inside
E                              B
 I’m just a man, so what’s the plan?

Bridge:

B                       A
 The rain won’t stop me now
                       F#
The rain won’t stop me now
                       A
The rain won’t stop me now
N.C.
 The rain won’t stop me

F# G#

Outro:

E           Bsus4         C#m7   Bsus4
 There’s no clouds in California
E            Bsus4            C#m7 Bsus4
 And I can’t wait to hear the rain
E                 Bsus4           C#m7    Bsus4
 I’ve changed the seasons waiting for you
E            Bsus4         C#m7
 I’m not the same as yesterday…
