G C G I hear the drizzle of the rain Am Am7 C Bm Like a memory it falls G Bm G C Soft and warm continuing Am Am7 D | G C | G C | G C | G C | Tapping on my roof and walls

[Verse]
G C G My mind's distracted and diffused Am Am7 C Bm My thoughts are many miles away G Bm G C They lie with you when you're asleep Am Am7 D | G C | G C | G C | G C | And kiss you when you-ou-ou start your day
[Verse]
G C G And a song I was writing is left undone Am Am7 C Bm I don't know why I spent my time G Bm G C Writing songs I can't believe Am Am7 D | G C | G C | G C | G C | With words that tear a-a-nd strain to rhyme

[Verse]
G C G And as I watch the drops of rain Am Am7 C Bm Weave their weary paths and die G Bm G C I know that I am like the rain Am Am7 D | G C | G C | G C | G C | There but for the grace of you go I
