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

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

You're half awake

And I bought you a radio to play the blues away
F        C                          Dm                                  Bb
Hospital light, you asked about the way you wish that they'd let you outside
