E minorEm
the blackest storm i ever saw

    C majorC     A minorAm
was coming in from omaha

E minorEm
and the latest news from tokyo was

C majorC      A minorAm
a lot of ugly numbers

E minorEm
i was checkin' pay phones for forgotten coins

      C majorC      A minorAm
as the clouds came over west des moines

E minorEm
got into the house got the curtains drawn

C majorC              A minorAm
got into the the shower with all my clothes on

E minorEm                G+G D MajorD
hey! hey! let the water come down!

Verse:

E minorEm
by noon it was clear that winter'd come

C majorC         A minorAm
and i just let the water run

E minorEm
and i got soap suds in my eyes

C majorC         A minorAm
and it stung like iodine

E minorEm
the phone started ringing like a fire alarm

C majorC                A minorAm
and the voice on the machine was brutally calm

E minorEm
new numbers coming down the wire

C majorC              A minorAm
got into the shower with my eyes on fire

Chorus:

E minorEm
hey! hey! let it fall on me,

G+G          D MajorD
let it all come down relentlessly!

E minorEm
you swore that you would stick around

G+G              D MajorD
when days like this started coming down!

E minorEm          G+G  D MajorD
break out the crystal!

E minorEm             G+G  D MajorD
get out the good champagne!

E minorEm       G+G  D MajorD
we're going down

E minorEm       G+G   D MajorD
