Marillion – The Sky Above The Rain (Guitar)

      C
She loves him

                Fmaj7
But she doesn't want him

            C          F
She used to burn for him

     C           Fmaj7
But now that's changed

     C
She knows he knows

        Fmaj7
And she says it isn't so

                  C
What else can she say?

                    D
But when he reaches out

     F     C
She turns away

               C
When he talks about it

               F
She says he's cruel

         C
So he apologizes

C
Counts his blessings

                 Fmaj7
What else can he do?

             Eb
She used to gaze at him

                           Gbmaj7 Gb
Reach out with her toes to touch him

                Fmaj7
She still loves him

F               G7
But she doesn't want him

C               F                 C
   And in her eyes he's so much less

          F              Eb
Than the light heart she met

             Bb            Abmaj7
The laughing boy she used to know

G7          C      Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
  Laughing Boy

          Dm  Dm7
He feels ugly now

          C                     Fmaj7
And the ugliness creeps around inside him

G               Dm
Until he really is

           Em                        Fmaj7
The animal paws at him, gnaws at him

                    D7
The Silver-Back wins over him

           G                G7         C
And in his pain, and bitter shame, he resents her

            G7         Am E Em Am Em C
The one who loves him

Am                        E Em
They said they'd never lie

       Am                             A       G  Cmaj7
They'd learned their lessons from the last times

Am                        B7 G
They said they could talk

C7               Am    Em C Gmaj Em Am
They could always talk

         Fmaj7           Emin7
For reasons good as well as bad

D
But he wants so much

G                        Bmaj7
To be free and high again

                 C                   Fmaj7
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain

                 C                   Fmaj7
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain

                 C                   Fmaj7
Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain

                 C                   Fmaj7
He's trying to see the blue sky above the rain

                 C
He's flown there and he's seen it

                            Fmaj7                       G7
Been up there lighter than air floating in the miracle

                 C
But he can't fly until she wants him He can't burn until she sparks him

Fmaj7
He's dressed in lead from toe to head

                 C                   Fmaj7
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain

                 C                   Fmaj7
Remembering the blue sky above the rain

     G7       Fmaj7  Amin7 C
Maybe they'll talk

        Fmaj7         Amin7          C      Cmaj6  D7
Soul to soul, head to head, heart to heart, eye to eye

                     Fmaj7           Amin7   C
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds

               Fmaj7 Amin7
Where troubles die

          Amin  Fmaj7 Am C
And tears dry

        Am       C        Amin7
Heading west and climbing

                  C               D7
In that place the sun never stops shining

                 Fmaj7 Emin7
The rain's below us

D
The rain's below us

Fmaj7           Emin7
The rain's below us

D               D7
The rain's below us
