  A augmentedA
I looked out my window this morning
  A augmentedA
And I saw the strangest thing
  A augmentedA
Everyone was walking on water, and dancing in the rain

A augmentedA

  A augmentedA
Oh and darling I got so jealous
    A augmentedA
Just wishing you were here with me
  A augmentedA
And I saw the prettiest people, they were kissing in the street
   A augmentedA
They didn't care who was watching, in the middle of the street
   A augmentedA
They didn't care who was watching

        A augmentedA
But I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
        A augmentedA
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
        A augmentedA
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
      A augmentedA
Raining on me, and I'm waiting on you

A augmentedA (x2)

    A augmentedA
Just sitting here watching the weather
   A augmentedA
And I can feel the air's getting colder
        A augmentedA
They say that sometimes the sunshine at the party, well she's the first one to go
 A augmentedA
She doesn't give any warning, she just gets up and goes
A augmentedA
She doesn't give any warning

(chorus)

  A augmentedA
Oh what would you do if I showed up
    A augmentedA
On your doorstep just ready to go?
      A augmentedA
Would you send me away, would you come out and play?
      A augmentedA
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today
      A augmentedA
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today

Darling green eyes are better than blue

Loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold

And I pray for the days when I won't sleep alone"

G+G
Darling I been down and out ever since you left town

Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes

I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new


Chorus:
G+G
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
G+G
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies

B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown,
G+G
You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town


Interlude:
G+G

G+G
Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways
G+G
'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door
G+G
I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing
G+G
One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore

Repeat Chorus!

G+G

G+G
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins
G+G
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?
G+G
And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong
G+G
'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong

Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!
