  C                         Am              F 
Above the bar the TVs are showing the game 
                                         C 
But we're not watching it, we're hardly focussing 
             C/B            Am 
Through the windows in the fading day 
    Dm         Bbmaj7 
1st Avenue is turning grey  

F 
                                 C          F 
Do you ever look at me and see another man 
                    Dm               G           C 
Let's get two more beers and try to make a plan 
              C/B            Am 
Sometimes it feels as though I have a key 
    Dm                          Bbmaj7 
But every time I try it it won't turn for me 

  F                               C 
Seattle - you've got to love the rain 
                  Bb6/9  Fsus4/G 
And we both love rain 
            C 
We both love rain 


C 
                                      Am         F 
We watched the city skyline from the ferry deck 
                        C 
And you put your arms around my neck 
              C/B         Am           Dm 
We talked of looking just out of town  
                          Bbmaj7 
Now it's looking like a dream shot down 

F 
                                   C           F 
I still believe that there's somewhere for us 
              Dm                G             C 
But now it's something that we don't discuss 
                C/B        Am          Dm 
And you're the best thing I ever knew 
                             Bbmaj7 
Stay with me, baby, and we'll make it to 

We'll make it to 


  F                               C 
Seattle - you've got to love the rain 
                  Bb6/9  Fsus4/G 
And we both love rain 
            C 
We both love rain 
  F                            C 
Seattle - I want you just the same 
                  Bb6/9  Fsus4/G 
And we both love rain 
            C      Bb6/9 
We both love rain
