  			Hold Back The Rain Chords by Duran Duran,  
(VERSE):(E)We're miles away from now(A)here 
And the (E)wind doesn't have a name(A) 
So call(E) it what you want(A) to call it 
(E)Still blows down the lane   (A)   (E)   (A) 
 
People tell me, I haven't changed at all 
But I don't feel the same 
And I bet you've had that feeling too 
You just can't laugh all the time 
 
(Chorus):(D)And if the fires (E)burn out there's (C)only fire to blame 
(G)  (D)No time for worry(E) cause we're (C)on the roam again.(G) 
(D)the clouds all (E)scatter and we (C)ride the outside lane(G) 
(D)Not on your own (E)so help me (C)please (G)hold back the rain 
 
(VERSE):So what if the words ain't rhyming 
Did you think that it's just a game 
probably didn't even say that right 
And I really don't give a damn 
 
Okay go off and wander 
I'm guilty just the same 
Sometimes you're needed badly 
So please come back again 
 
 (Chorus)
