despite all the notes, it's really not too difficult! [Verse 1] (Fingerpicking)
G                        Em
One time, I tried to sing

G                       Em
About spring and a storm

            G Em
But you know

           G Em
How it goes

C                                                    Cm  D#maj7
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"

         G Em G Em
All along

          C              Cm        D#maj7
Won't you please stop complaining?

                  G Em G Em
I'm playing a song
[Chorus 1] (Strumming)
            G                     C Cm
But all the rain drops in the same

        G                      C Cm
Falling to from where they came

       G                C        Cm          G
On the ground and back around up into the sky
(Down, Down, Up-Slap) (Fingerpick, starting on second note of the pattern for the first G) G x2 Em [Verse 2] (Strumming)
  G                           Em
I wish you could've heard the music

         G                      Em
When the clouds growled overhead

  G                    Em
I finally felt enthusiastic

  G             A
I finally felt alive

C                                                    Cm  D#maj7
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"

           G Em G Em
So you said

          C             Cm     D#maj7
"Would it please you to listen

                    G Em G Em
To thunder instead?"
[Chorus 2] (Aggressive strumming)
         G                    C  Cm
When the rain came down that day

        G              C    Cm
And it drained my soul away

       G             C       Cm       G  C Cm
And I wondered why I even bothered to try

A|---------------------------------- -----0-----------|
E|----0-3---3-0---2-------------0-3---3-0---2---------|
C|--0-----2-----2---2-0-4-2---0-----2---------2-0-4-2-|

[Bridge] (Fingerpicking)
       G
Mr. Moon?

Em
Yeah?

                  G   Em
Tell us about the sky!

    G               Em                 G   Em
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high

      G                  Em                       G
Many people think that's where you go when you die

Em
Do you?

       G                          C Cm
Well I think you return to obscure

       G               C            Cm
Or wherever you were before you were

    G               C        Cm              G C Cm
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain
(Strumming)
          G                 C Cm
We have so much left to sing

               G                C Cm
There's a storm for every spring

        G                C     Cm              G C Cm
All you see, and you and me, became from a star

(alternatively, play the following, ending when you go back to fingerpicking:

[Joe]
             G C Cm
You're a star

           G C Cm
Yes you are
You're a star
G          C         D          C
Silent explosive and silent explosive (Yes you are)

    G          C         D          C
And silent explosive and silent explosive (You're a star)

    G          C         D          C
And silent explosive and silent explosive (Yes you are)

    G          C         D          C    Cm7
And silent explosive and silent explosive
[Outro]
Bb           Eb         F          Eb
Create until nothing is left to create

        Bb       Eb             F          Eb
And the universe bursts with an overworked sigh

       Bb          Eb        F            Eb
And pretend to, pretend to recrown the creation

    Bb            Eb             F               Eb
And sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry

         Bb       Eb       F     Eb
And then over and over and over again

         Bb       Eb       F      Ebm
And then over and over and never again
(Fingerpicking)
G                                                   A C Cm (Cm is strummed)
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"
