(verse 1) 
G5                            Caug  
Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself, 
  A5                                    E5 
I fell like I'm just sleep walkin through out life, 
G5                        Caug 
It's like I'm swimmin in an ocean of emotion, 
     A5                            E5 
But still somehow slowly goin numb inside, 
 
(pre-cho) 
F5                       G5 
I don't like who I'm becommin, 
                       Bb5 
I know I've gotta to do somethin, 
                            Ab5  G5 
before my life passes right by-eye 
 
(chorus) 
           C5 
I want to Cry like the rain, cry like the rain, 
  Bb5 
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin, 
 F5 
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin, 
 Bb5 
Fight with the devil and go down swingin, 
 C5 
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone, 
 Bb5 
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone, 
 F5                                     Ab5  Bb5 
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive, 
          C5 
I wanna live 
 
(verse 2) 
G5                            Caug 
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart, 
  A5                    E5 
I hardly do anything at all, 
G5                            Caug 
I've spent my whole life building up this Ivory tower, 
         A5                              E5 
Now that I'm in it I keep wishin it would fall, 
 
(pre-cho) 
F5                         G5 
So I can feel the ground beneath me, 
                      Bb5 
Really taste this air I'm breathin, 
                   Ab5  G5 
And know that I'm ali--ive, 
 
(chorus) 
           C5 
I want to Cry like the rain, cry like the rain, 
  Bb5 
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin, 
 F5 
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin, 
 Bb5 
Fight with the devil and go down swingin, 
 C5 
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone, 
 Bb5 
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone, 
 F5                                     Ab5  Bb5 
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive, 
          Ab5 - Bb5 
I wanna live 
          Ab5 - Bb5 - C5 
I wanna live 
 
(verse 3) 
G5                            Caug 
Somethin deep inside keeps sayin life is like a vapor, 
     A5                           E5 
It's gone in just a twinklin of an eye, 
 
(chorus) 
           C5 
I want to Cry like the rain, cry like the rain, 
  Bb5 
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin, 
 F5 
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin, 
 Bb5 
Fight with the devil and go down swingin, 
 C5 
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone, 
 Bb5 
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone, 
 F5                                     Ab5  Bb5 
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive, 
        Ab5                      G5 
I wanna take every breath I can get 
          C5 - Bb5 - F5 - Bb5 
I wanna live
