Black Clouds
This is the best I could do. A few passing notes might be slightly off:
Intro
Am
CGood morning hello
The ones you Glove are using yCou
They only taught you to steal the cruAmbs
To keep you hanging Dmon
To keep you hanging Gon
It's nearlG#my over it won't be lAmong
CAnd all the people you're supposed to bGelieve are lying to yCou
They're gonna tell you that you're naAive
To keep you hanging Dmon
They keep you hanging Gon
It's nearly oG#mver it won't be lAmong
AmIt's always raG#ining on the ones I lGove
BF#lack clouds in the sFun
AmIt's always raiG#ning on the ones I lGove
BF#lack clouds in the sFun
CGood morning hello
The things I nGeed are useCless
That I could be constantly grasping at stAraws
It only works for so Dmlong
It only works for so lGong
And when it's G#mover and everything's cAmold
CAnd all the people you're taught to oGbey
Are pawns in a gCame
You're taking bullets for somebody's teAeth
While they stand there holding the Dmgun
And they keep you hanging Gon
They G#mkeep you hanging Amon
AmIt's always raG#ining on the ones I lGove
BF#lack clouds in the sFun
AmIt's always raiG#ning on the ones I lGove
BF#lack clouds in the sFun
CGood morning
