Chords
[Verse 1]
D You ran up against the rain D Everyday of your short life G D Suffered for your muse without complaining D Never heard you swear life isn't fair D But it doesn't make it right G A You left the world knowing all too well what pain is
[Chorus]
G A D You took it on yourself to pave the road to hell G A Paid your dues and sang the blues D Lord, you knew them all too well G A Every word upon the page F# G You let them sail away G A The wind would blow, and then you'd go D Up against the rain
[Verse 2]
D You listen to the songs D And then you wrote your own G Somewhere along the way D You passed the muse along D I feel your presence in this room D Beneath the wailing moon G A It's good to know that dying couldn't tame you
[Chorus]
G A D You took it on yourself to pave the road to hell G A Paid your dues and sang the blues D Lord, you knew them all too well G A Every word upon the page F# G You let them sail away G A The wind would blow, and then you'd go D Up against the rain
[Verse 3]
D Last night the weather turned D This morning we had snow G D Today they'll lay you in the ground D Someday we'll all know D Where it is we go G My tears will say goodbye A While the rain is coming down
[Chorus]
G A D You took it on yourself to pave the road to hell G A Paid your dues and sang the blues D Lord, you knew them all too well G A Every word upon the page F# G You let them sail away G G A The wind would blow, and then you'd go D Up against the rain
