Distant rain

[Bm] Tripped on the night as the darkness fell
[Em] Down to the bottom of an endless [Bm] world
[Em] I went down early, and I came back late
[Bm] Never saw the devil standing at the gate
Now [G] here you are again, [Em] baby
Distant [Bm] rain.

[Bm] Put it all on the table, kept nothing hid
[Em] Sold my love out to the highest [Bm] bid
[Em] If you had secrets, darling, I couldn’t tell
[Bm] So throw another coin in the wishing well
[G] Thunder on the plains
[Em] Distant [Bm] rain.

[Em] I don’t know when I crossed the [Bm] line
The one you [Em] had in the back of your [Bm] mind
[Em] It’s getting cold, baby come inside
[Bm] There ain’t no place left for [Em] us to hide
[G] We can wash these stains
[Em] Distant [Bm] rain.

[Bm] Born in the side of something real
[Em] I don’t know how you make me [Bm] feel
[Em] I never was too certain
Yeah, but now I got my [Bm] doubts
[G] Like a runaway train
[Em] Distant [Bm] rain.

[Bm] I saw the writing on the wall
I wasn’t sure if I could read it all
[Em] It’s like the sky’s on fire
And then you go asking for a [Bm] sign
[G] That only the night could contain [Em]
[Bm] Distant rain

[Em] Things were okay. Now they’re getting out of hand
[Bm] I’m a stranger in these shadowlands
[Em] We used to burn to remember
Now we burn to forget
[Bm] Break the chains
That are soaking wet
[G] Now here you come again
[Em] Distant [Bm] rain
Distant rain……
