Step back and watch the sweet thing

Bb 
talking fast couldn't tell me something

and we tried so hard 
         Eb 
and we looked so good 
            F 
and we lived our lives in black 
     Eb                                              Bb 
but something about you felt like pain 
                                       Eb 
you were my sunny day rain 
                                         Bb 
you were the clouds in the sky 
                              Eb 
you were the darkest sky 
    F 
but your lips spoke gold and honey 
 Eb                                      Bb   
that's why i'm happy when it rains

i'm happy when it pours

that feels like feels like pain

to my brain 

Ab     Eb 


 Bb 
and if i tell you something 
 Eb 
you take me back to nothing

i'm on the edge of something

you take me back

and i'm happy when it rains  
         Eb
