I tried to be brave, but I hid in the dark

I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark

To light up all the pain that remained in my heart

         F

And the rain kept falling

C

Down on the roof of the church where I cried

         F

I could hear all the laughter and love and I tried

       G C

To get up and get out, but a part of me died

         F                 C  Bb

And the rain kept falling down



Verse 2

Well, I'm scared if I open myself to be known

So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone

         F

And the rain keeps falling

Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky

         F

But I'm dying in North Carolina and I

Can't believe there's a end to this season of night

Falling down

           C

There's a woman at home and she's praying for a light

And my children are there and they love me in spite

        G C

Of the shadow I know that they see in my eyes

         F

And the rain keeps falling

        C

I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the road

       F

I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote

          G C

But it's true, and it feels like I can't sing a

Verse 4

    C

My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt

     F

And every day now we've been watching the earth

      G C

For a sign that this death will give way to a birth

         F

And the rain keeps falling

C

Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid

         F

And the secret of life is igniting the grave

         G C

And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait

And the rain keeps falling down

 But this rain just keeps falling

 I've been calling and calling

F

 But this rain just keeps falling and falling
