GA#, GC (x2)
Verse 1:
ACAFA It's raining a-gain; I'm hearing it's pitter-patter, down. CAFB7 It's wet in the street; reflecting the lights and splashing feet. CB7CCmaj7 Nowhere to go, and nothing I have to do, have to do.
Verse 2:
ACAFA It's raining a-gain; I follow the Christmas lights, down town. CACCmaj7 I'm leaving the flow, of people walking all around, round and round.
Chorus 1:
DF#m I hear the sound of rain, falling in my ears, CG Washing away the weari-ness, like tears. DF#m I can feel my troubles running down; CG Disappear into the silent sound.
Verse 3:
ACAFA Just walking a-long; my clothes are soaked right through to the skin. CAFB7 I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all a-bout; CB7CCmaj7 The sun and the rain, scraps of paper washing down the drain.
Chorus 2:
DF#m I feel the rain, falling on my face, CG I can say there is no better place. DF#m Than standing up, in the falling down, CG In so much rain, I could almost drown.

F#Bm, E7, F#BmDE7F#Dm
Verse 4:
ACAFA It's raining a-gain; a crack in the clouds reveals blue skies. CAFB7 I've been feeling so low, but now every-thing is on my side; CB7CCmaj7 The sun and the rain, walk with me; fill my heart a-gain.
Chorus 3:
DF#m I hear the rain, falling in my ears, CG Washing away the weari-ness, like tears. DF#m I can feel my troubles running down; CG Disappear into the silent sound.
