| [G] [Gsus4] | [G] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] |
| [G] . I hear the | [C] drizzle | [C] of the rain | [G] | [G] |
| [Am] . Like a | [Em] memo- | [C] ry [Cmaj7] it falls | [D7] | [D7]
| [G] . Soft and | [Bm7] warm con- | [G] tinu- | [C] ing | [C]
| [Am] . Tapping | [Em] on my | [D] roof and | [G] walls [Gsus4] |
| [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |
| [G] . And from the | [C] shelter | [C] of my mind | [G] | [G] |
| [Am] . Through the | [Em] window | [C] of [Cmaj7] my | [D7] eyes | [D7]
I | [G] gaze be- | [Bm7] yond the | [G] rain drenched | [C] streets | [C]
To | [Am] England | [D] . where my | [G] heart [Gsus4] lies |
| [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |
| [D] | [D] | [D] | [D] |
| [Gsus4] [G] | [G] |
| [G] . My mind's dis- | [C] tracted | [C] and diffused | [G] | [G] |
| [Am] . My thoughts are | [Em] many | [C] miles [Cmaj7] away | [D7] | [D7]
They | [G] lie with | [Bm7] you when | [G] you're a- | [C] sleep | [C]
And | [Am] kiss you | [Em] when you | [D] start your | [G] day [Gsus4] |
| [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |
And a | [G] song I was | [C] writing is | [C] left undone | [G] | [G] |
| [Am] . I don't know | [Em] why I | [C] spend [Cmaj7] my | [D7] time | [D7]
| [G] . Writing | [Bm7] songs I | [G] can't be- | [C] lieve | [C]
With | [Am] words that | [Em] tear and | [D] strain to | [G] rhyme [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |
| [D] | [D] | [D] | [D] |
| [Gsus4] [G] | [G] |
| [G] . And so you | [C] see I have | [C] come to doubt | [G] | [G] |
| [Am] . All that | [Em] I once | [C] held [Cmaj7] as | [D7] true | [D7]
I | [G] stand a- | [Bm7] lone with- | [G] out beliefs | [C] | [C] |
| [Am] . The only | [Em] truth I | [D] know is | [G] you [Gsus4] |
| [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |
| [G] . And as I | [C] watch the | [C] drops of | [G] rain | [G] |
| [Am] . weave their | [Em] weary | [C] paths [Cmaj7] and | [D7] die | [D7]
I | [G] know that | [Bm7] I am | [G] like the | [C] rain | [C] |
| [Am] . There but | [Em] for the grace of | [D] you go | [G] I [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G!]
