[Intro] | Am | Am/G | D7/F# | F E7 | 2x [Verse 1]
Am                   Am/G
[tab]D7/F#                 F       E7
 Coming down on my shoulders

Am                   Am/G
 A life full of rain

D7/F#                         F     E7
 Here in a room where no one cares

Am               Am/G
 I'm not wanted here

D7/F#               F    E7
 I got no place to go

Am                       Am/G
 I've found all is empty

D7/F#               F
 In a life full of rain
[Chorus]
G                    Am
 Your sky is never clear

 Fmaj7
And you can hear that thunder

G                      Am
 You know that means trouble

              Fmaj7
The kind of trouble that won't disappear

G                   Am
 So you ask for forgiveness

Fmaj7
 And you know there's none coming

Am                   Am/G
 A life full of rain

Fmaj7
 And the forecast is severe
[Instrumental] | Am | Am/G | D7/F# | F E7 | [Verse 2]
Am                Am/G
 The gravel roads

D7/F#                  F        E7
 That lie stretched out bеfore you

Am                  Am/G
 They are thе roads

D7/F#                     F     E7
 That you've gone down before

Am          Am/G
 Goddamn it, you didn't ask

D7/F#                    F    E7
 You didn't ask to come here

Am                         Am/G
 So you curse your own mother

D7/F#                       F
 For the day that you were born
[Chorus]
G                       Am
 It's all been a trick

F
 A little sleight of hand

G                          Am
 Like the clown in the circus

              F
Who tells a story but no one understands

G                           Am
 So you disappear into the solitude

F
 And you go into the shadows

Am                      Am/G
 Of a life full of rain

Fmaj7
 With no dry spot to stand
[Solo] | Am | Am/G | D7/F# | F E7 | Am | E7 | Dm | E7 | Am | [Verse 3]
Am                         Am/G
 There's a blue-eyed world

D7/F#                     F    E7
 That said it once loved you

Am                          Am/G
 But that was in your youth

D7/F#               F        E7
 Such a long, long time ago

Am                    Am/G
 As the days went by

D7/F#                       F        E7
 With your pride walking beside you

Am                            Am/G
 Pride you could not swallow

D7/F#                 F
 And refused to let go
[Chorus]
G            Am
 So here you are

F
 Stuck in a world of your own ego

G                            Am
 A world where there's no rumors

F
 Of other lost souls

G                     Am
 Who've turned into ghosts

           F
And float sadly through the evening

Am                          Am/G
 And you thought you were exempt

        Fmaj7            Am                   Am/G
From a life full of rain, a life full of rain

               Fmaj7
That's coming down on your shoulders
[Ending] | Am | Am/G | D7/F# | F E7 | 2x | Am |
