Chords for Graham Coxon: Thank God For The Rain

[Am] _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
[Am] Saw the [G] news in the afternoon, [Am] another war [G] will be coming [Am] soon
A man ripped [G] up like a piece of paper [Am] with his wife looking [G] on and no one to help [Am] her
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] Hamble said [G] we're still in the dark [Am] ages, with people's [G] greed and hate and [Am] rages
The world don't learn [A] so the world will burn, the world will burn
Cause the world don't learn, the world don't learn
So the world will burn, the world will burn
Cause the world won't [Am] learn
[G] _ [Am] Looks [G] like I'm gonna build my shelter again
_ _ Such a messed up world we're [Am] living in today
_ _ Thank _ [C]
God for the _ rain
Maybe it'll [G] wash that [E] scum away
The _ _ [G] _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] streets ain't safe in this town no more
A girl get hassled at her front door, her violence rising out of hand
You can't bring the kids up in this land
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] Getting mugged on your way home
By kids with masks and knives they own
How long will it be till they've got a gun?
Shoot you down just like a dog for fun
[G] _ _ [Am] Looks [G] like I'm gonna build my shelter again
_ Such a messed up world we're [Am] living in today
_ Thank _ _ [C]
God for the rain
_ Maybe it'll wash [G] that [E] scum away

[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ my sensitivity would be smashed by some inner city wisdom trash
Instead my own phobia [G] and [Am] centricity is growing [G] out every [Am] bit of me
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
[Am] I like my [G] home, I don't wanna [Am] move it
But maybe [G] I'll be far [Am] soon to lock the doors and board up the windows
Lock the doors and board up the windows
Lock the doors and board up the windows
Lock the doors and board up the windows
_ [G] _ [Am] Looks [G] like I'm gonna build my shelter again
_ Such a messed up world we're [Am] living in today
_ Thank [G] _
[C] God for the rain
_ Maybe it'll [G] wash that [E] scum away
_ _ People _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ [G] die and nature [Am] replaces
You see the lives in all the faces
Of so-called [G] lunatics and basket [Am] cases
Who'd hang [G] themselves with their sheet [Am] laces
_ [G] They [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] have no [G] place in the rap [Am] races
A society [G] which just [Am] misplaces
Puts more [G] importance on money not [Am] faces
And hide in [G] sleeps filled with all the [Am] aces
[G] Looks [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ [G] like I'm gonna build my shelter again
_ Such a messed up world we're [Am] living in today
_ Thank [G] _
[C] God for the rain
_ _ Maybe it'll [G] wash that [E] scum away _ _ _ _ _ _
