Intro C G D Em C G D  (2x) 

Verse 
            C                          G 
When I find the sweet hereafter 
         D                    Em   
Put a blanket on my soul 
          C                      G 
Cast a shadow on my heart 
              D 
Slide the chain across my door 
        C                     G 
Ever turning all the seasons 
        D                   Em 
Ever fading all the days 
                   C                G 
And if there ever was a reason 
         D 
I just haven't found a way 

                C    G   D   Em 
To fall like rain 
                C    G   D 
Fall like rain 
                C    G   D   Em 
Fall like rain 
                C    G   D                  Em    
Fall like rain           Only to rise again

verse 2 

         C                      G 
I was longing for the wind 
               D                    Em 
When the trees begin to sway 
          C                     G 
But I never grow my wings 
         D  
No, I never fly away 
             C                  G 
For the anchor of my love 
        D                       Em 
To which my heart is bound 
          C                 G 
Is the iron for the cage 
          D 
That keeps me on the ground 

                 C      G     D     Em 
To fall like rain 
                 C      G     D 
Fall like rain 
                 C      G     D     Em 
Fall like rain 
                 C      G 
Fall like rain 
D                    Em 
Only to rise again 

C G D Em C G D (2x) 
              Em                    
Now I'm dreaming to myself 
           
With a tear behind my eye 
      
For a shelter is my mind 
          D                      
In the quiet of the night 
        C                     G 
Ever turning all the seasons 
        D                     Em 
Ever fading all the days 
                   C               G 
And if there ever was a reason 
        D                      
I just haven't found a way 

                  C    G   D   Em 
To fall like rain 
                  C    G   D 
Fall like rain 
                  C    G   D   Em 
Fall like rain 
                  C    G   D                 Em 
Fall like rain           Only to rise again
