intro: (5x) Am Am C The rain came down The rain came down Am G F The rain came down on me Am C The wind blew stron And summer's song Am G F It fades to memory Am C I knew you when I loved you then Am G F In summer's yawn, now hopeless Am C You laid me bare And marked me there Am G F The promises we made C Am I used to think, as birds take wing, Em F They sing through life, so why can't we? C Am We cling to this, and claim the best Em F If this is what you're offering C Am E F I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain Am C The nighttime creases Summer schemes A G F And stretches out to stay Am C The sun shines down You came around Am G F You love the easy days Am C But now the sun, The winter's come Am G F I wanted just to say Am C That if I hold I'd hope you'd fold Am G F And open up inside, inside of me (chorus) C Am I used to think, as birds take wing, Em F They sing through life, so why can't we? C Am We cling to this, and claim the best Em F If this is what you're offering C Am E I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain, F C Am E F I'll take the rain solo: D[-------------------------------------------- A[---5--3---2------5--3---2---3-5------2-3-5-- E[-3------3------3------3-------------3------- -4-5----------] ------5-3-----] ----------3-1-] repeat intro (2x) Am C This winter's song I'll sing along Am G F I've searched its still refrain Am C I'll walk alone If given this Am G F Take wing, and celebrate the rain (repeat chorus) C Am I'll take the rain I'll take the rain, I'll take Em F the rain, I'll take the rain C Am Em F C Am I'll take the rain I'll take the rain Em F Am
