G

Verse 1:

      C
I tried to be brave but I hid in the dark
    F
I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark
          G
To light up all the pain that remained in my heart
          F
And the rain kept falling

 C
Down on the roof of the church where I cried
          F
I could hear all the laughter and love and I tried
        G
To get up and get out but a part of me died
          F                    C Bb
And the rain kept falling down


Verse 2:

            C
Well I'm scared if I open myself to be known
           F
I'll be seen and despised and be left all alone
         G
So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone
          F
And the rain keeps falling
C
Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky
           F
But I'm dying in North Carolina and I
          G
Can't believe there's and end to this season of night
         F                    C
And the rain keeps falling down
          Bb
Falling down
           F C Bb F
Falling down


Verse 3:

            C
There's a woman at home and she's praying for a light
     F
My children are there and they love me in spite
          G
Of the shadow I know that they see in my eyes
          F
And the rain keeps falling

         C
I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the road
         F
I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote
           G
But it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note
         F                   C
And the rain keeps falling down
          Bb
Falling down
           F
Falling down


Bridge 1:

C            F
Peace, be still
C            F
Peace, be still


Verse 4:

      C
My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt
      F
And every day now we've been watching the earth
       G
For a sign that this death will give way to a birth
          F
And the rain keeps falling

 C
Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid
         F
And the secret of life is igniting the grave
          G
And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait
          F
And the rain is falling


Bridge 2:

C            F
Peace, be still
C            F
Peace, be still
C
I just want to be new again
F
I just want to be closer to You again
C
Lord, I can't find the song
F
I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong
C
Help me be brave tonight
F
Jesus, please help me out of this cave tonight
C
I've been calling and calling
F
This rain just keeps falling
C
I've been calling and calling
F
But this rain just keeps falling and falling
C
Is it You?
F
Is it You?
C
Is it true?
F
Is it You?
(Peace, peace)
