Akon - The Rain
The chords are the same throughout the whole song
F#m Bm D C#m
F#m
The pressure's buildin' up
I feel like givin' up
Bm
How in the fuck am I gonna back my first album up
D
Well everything has changed
It'll never be the same
C#m
Nobody know me
Then everybody knows my name
F#m
And I feel so ashamed
Bm
I never been the kinda nigga that would complain
D
But it's so crazy man
C#m
It's no different
Everyday it's just the same thing
F#m Bm
Now it's been months out on the road
D
On tour doin' so many different shows
C#m
Head spinnin' feelin' like it's gonna explode
And I just wanna know
F#m Bm
If anybody out there's feelin' me
I'm losin' my mind
D
And I can't believe
C#m
I let this shit get the best of me
And now I gotta let ya know
F#m
One's got me insane
Bm
Cause I can't stand the rain
D
It's hitting my window pane
C#m
A little too much
And now I gotta let ya know
F#m
One's got my face in a frown
Bm
Cause I can't stand the sound
D
Of the thunder that's crashing down
C#m
Upon my house
Now I gotta let ya know
The chords are the same throughout the whole song
