[Verse]
E E
Did you ever notice how the rain sounds
E E A
like an old LP when you put the needle down?
The crackle and hiss of a day like this
E
makes for a sweet kind of laziness
B7
I could practically kiss the roof above my head
A
'cause I'm dry
E
lying in my rainbed
E
city slickers'll be slicker tonight
E
windshield rainshine blurring the streetlight
E
cars'll slur by on my street
E
the asphalt will shine vinyl-black under my feet
A
I don't complain the sound of the rain is so sweet
E
the wind throws some rain 'gainst my window pane
E
like a friend calling me outside to play
B7
he knows I love a windy day
A
he knows I got a little rhyme to say
E
it's a rainsong spinning in my brain
E
here it comes turnin' round again it says
E
rain rain stay all day
E
keep the sky a steel-wool grey
E
I wanna stay inside and play
E
pick up my guitar and say hey
E
rain rain cool me down
E
let the steam roll off this town
E
like the roots of trees deep underground
E
I wake up when I hear the sound of
E
rain rain through the night
E
on into the cold grey light
E
if I had my love to hold me tight
E A
I'd turn the light out and make things right as rain
A
but she ain't here she's nowhere near
E
and the things I whispered in her hair
E
wherever she is she's got them there
B7 A
I still hear all my favorite things she said
E
when we were lying in our rainbed
E E
did you ever notice how the rain sounds
E E A
like an old LP when you put the needle down?
A
crackle and hiss of a day like this
E
it makes for a sweet kind of laziness
E B7
I could practically kiss the roof above my head
A
'cause I'm dry
E
and lying in my rainbed
B7
I get all these rain thoughts in my head
A
every time
E
I'm lying in my rainbed
B7
I think of all the graveyard dead
A
oh and I think of them
E
lying in their rainbed
or that river
B7
creeping up the watershed
A
that river's gonna
E
roll out of his rainbed
B7
I sing the rain from A to Zed
A
I sing the rain
E
lying in my rainbed
E
I'm lying in my rainbed
E
I'm lying in my rainbed
E
I'm lying in my rainbed
