[Intro]
C E Fmaj7
After the lights are out
C E Fmaj7
Amidst the soot and rubble
C E Fmaj7 Em
I sit and marvel at
Dm Fm
How fast the world crumbled
[Verse]
C E Fmaj7
I asked the sun advice
C E Fmaj7
Some sort of counter measure
C E Fmaj7 Em
But he just turned away
Dm Fm
Remarked upon the weather
[Chorus]
C
When the rain falls
G
And the sky is colored
Am7 Fmaj7
I will give you shelter
I will be your cover
[Verse]
C
I found you lying there
G
Dressed in your fine apparel
Am7
Battered beyond belief
Fmaj7
Reading the New York Herald

C Am7
As I held you close
Dsus D F
Asked how to make you better
C Am7
You smiled and turned away
Dsus D F Fm
Remarked upon the weather

C
When the rain falls
G
And the sky is colored
Am7
I will give you shelter
F
Fm
I will be your cover
