Key: G
Introduction:
G C G
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Am Em C Bm7
Like a memory it falls
G Bm G C
Soft and warm continuing
Am Em D G C G C G
Tapping on my roof and walls.
G C G
And from the shelter of my mind
Am Em C Bm7
Through the window of my eyes
G Bm G C
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
Am Em D G C G C G
To England where my heart lies.
G C G
My mind's distracted and diffused
Am Em C Bm7
My thoughts are many miles away
G Bm G C
They lie with you when you're asleep
Am Em D G C G C G
And kiss you when you start your day.
G C G
And a song I was writing is left undone
Am Em C Bm7
I don't know why I spend my time
G Bm G C
Writing songs I can't believe
Am Em D G C G C G
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.
G C G
And so you see I have come to doubt
Am Em C Bm7
All that I once held as true
G Bm G C
I stand alone without beliefs
Am Em D G C G C G
The only truth I know is you.
G C G
And as I watch the drops of rain
Am Em C Bm7
Weave their weary paths and die
G Bm G C
I know that I am like the rain
Am Em D G C G C G
There but for the grace of you go I.
