[Intro] G B7 C7 F C7 G B7 C7 F C7 G [Verse 1]
              B7                       C7
It could have been just like any other day

   F           C7          G
If not for the drug raids

               B7                                    C7    F    C7   G
They seemed so normal as they were cuffed and hauled away

               B7                      C7
Who could have thought? We should have known

            F                C7         G
Such a nice family, but it's all a show

              B7                       C7
It could have been just like any other day

   F           C7
If not for the blood in the rain
[Transition] G B7 C7 F C7 [Verse 2]
G             B7                        C7
It could have been just your everyday commute

                      F           C7                  G
And then I heard the sirens and I flipped on the news

                 B7                   C7
"Disobedient civilians have all lanes dammed,

                  F     C7               G
Arrests are being made, wrists are being slapped."

                      B7                 C7
So I cranked down the window as I rolled past

       F     C7      G
"Get a boss! Take a bath!"

                       B7                        C7
That's what the others shouted, but I blared the horn

                    F          C7          G
With my fist in the air and my gas to the floor
[Chorus]
                 C       G
Give me death or give me rain

  C       G            C   G   D     G
I feel so numb, better give me pain

                 C    G
Bomb threats and hurricanes

     C         G               C  G  D
Or a new berry flavor from the coffee tray
[Transition] G B7 C7 F C7 G B7 C7 F C7 G [Verse 3]
              B7                              C7
It could have been just your forgotten school day

   F                          C7                G
If not for the drills and the bells that saved

          B7                        C7    F  C7  G
The fire started someplace cool and safe

               B7                      C7
Who could have thought? We should have known

           F          C7      G
"Thousands dead," the leaders spoke

                  B7                                    C7
I pulled at their cuffs while they were at each others' throats

          F      C7        G
Does this mean I get to go home?
[Chorus]
                 C       G
Give me death or give me rain

  C       G            C   G   D     G
I feel so numb, better give me pain

                 C    G
Bomb threats and hurricanes

     C         G               C  G  D
Or a new berry flavor from the coffee tray
[Transition] G [Chorus]
                 C       G
Give me death or give me rain

  C       G            C   G   D     G
I feel so numb, better give me pain

                 C    G
Bomb threats and hurricanes

     C         G               C  G  D
Or a new berry flavor from the coffee tray
[Bridge]
         C7  G       C7  G    D
Sing out! Liberty is too much strength
[Transition] G B7 C7 F C7 G B7 C7 F C7 G [Outro]
              B7                       C7
It could have been just like any other day

   F           C7                 G
If not for the blood in the rain
