Dm     F
Raining in Kyoto
         Bb
It's flooding the streets
       Gm          Dm
I'm nursing a coffee from a vending machine
         F           Bb
I saw the god of rice, a fox with a key
Dm           F
I woke up blind with a headache
      Bb
Grinding my teeth
       Gm            Dm
Confused and alone and taking pills to sleep
         F               Bb
They soften your absence but they don't let me dream, dream
Gm  Bb  Gm  Bb  F  Em

Verse 2:
Dm     F
Raining in Kyoto
           Bb
My breath turns into steam
        G               Dm
I'll buy you a candle, not even sure what it means
         F
I'm cursed to the matches
        Bb
I'm drowning my grief
Dm           F       Bb
An old man stood close by, smiled at me
            G
I rang the bell like he did
        Dm
I told you I'm sorry
      F              Bb  F Em
A makeshift funeral, I tried to set you free


Chorus 1:
F       C
You're half asleep
          Dm            Bb   F Em
And I bought you a radio to drown out the machines
F    C             Dm                 Bb  F Em
Hospital light, you asked about the way you wish that they'd let you outside
Dm  F  Bb  G


Verse 3:
Dm     F
Raining in Kyoto
        Bb
I'm starting to shake
            G
They'll hold a service tomorrow
       Dm
I'm an ocean away
       F              Bb
Reach into my pocket, found a small paper crane
Dm        F
It's been over a year now
         Bb
April turns into May
         G              Dm
I barely stopped moving, I've been so fucking afraid
       F             Bb  F Em
Too much of a coward to even visit your grave


Chorus 2:
F      C
You're half awake
          Dm           Bb  F Em
And I bought you a radio to play the blues away
F        C             Dm                   Bb
With my hand to hold, you asked about the way you wish that they'd let you die at home

And I bought you a radio to play the blues away

Hospital light, you asked about the way you wish that they'd let you outside
