[D#]
[C#] [B]
[F#] I hear the drizzle of the rain
[G#m] Like [F#] a memory [A#m] it falls
[F#] [A#m] Soft and warm, [C#] continuing
[B] [G#m] Tapping [D#] on [C#] my roof [F#] and walls
And from the shelter of my [F#] mind
[G#m]
Through the window of [A#m] my eyes
[F#] I gaze beyond the [B] raindrenched streets
[G#m] To England, [C#] where [F#] my heart lies
[C#]
[F#]
My mind's distracted and diffused
My [G#m] thoughts [F#] are [B] many miles [A#m] away
[F#] They lie [F] with you [C#] when you're [B] asleep
And [G#m] kiss you [D#] when you [F#] start your day
And the song I [B] was writing is left [F#] undone
I [G#m] don't [B] know why I [A#m] spend my time
[F#]
[Fm] Writing songs [C#] I can't [B] believe
With [G#m] words [D#] that tear [C#] and strain to [F#] rhyme
So you [F#] see I have come to doubt
[G#m] All [D#m] that I once held [A#m] as true
[F#] I [A#m] stand alone [F#] without [B] beliefs
The [G#m] only [F#] truth I know [C#] is [F#] you
And as I [B] watch the drops of rain
[G#m] Weave [F#] their weary paths and [A#m] I
[F#] I know that I am [G#] like [B] the rain
[G#m] [F#] There but for the grace [C#] of you [F#] go I
[D#m]
[A#m] [A#m]
[F#] [B] [G#m]
[D#m] [G#] [F#]
