C F C Dm G
[verse 1]
C
I’m sitting on the curb outside our house
C F
The sun’s coming up and my mind is filled with all kindsa doubt
C
The clouds hang low
[verse 2]
C
I Lost my keys so I can’t get in
C F
But I don’t want to wake you up ’cause I know you need your sleep
C
You work too hard
[pre-chorus]
Am Dm
I can smell the rain sneaking up on me and I guess it serves me right
Dm F
Through all these years we’ve shared it’s been right there by our side
G
Pouring down
[chorus]
C Am
Oh didn’t it rain when I said I’d keep you safe from harm
Dm C G
And when I promised to take you away but I only took you apart
C
Oh didn’t it rain when I flushed our dreams down the drain
Am
on a flip of a card
Dm
And when the doctor sat us down to explain our options
C G C
and I cried all the way to the car
[solo]
C F C Dm G
[verse 3]
C
My legs only carried me this far
C F
I Lean my back against the neighbour’s beat-up family car
C
That I used to own
C
A busted hand, a torn up shirt
C F
I know I promised not to put you through this kinda hurt
C
But I play my part
[pre-chorus]
Am
I spent our summers planning for September
Dm
but it never came to nothing at all
Dm F
October nights I’d lay awake just listening to the rainfall
G
On the roof
[chorus]
C Am
Oh didn’t it rain when I said I’d keep you safe from harm
Dm C G
And when I promised to take you away but I only took you apart
C
Oh didn’t it rain when I flushed our dreams down the drain
Am
on a flip of a card
Dm
And when the doctor sat us down to explain our options
C G C
and I cried all the way to the car
