[Intro]
Fmaj7Sometimes I Gpray for the Cmaj7rain
[Verse 1]
You know I Cmaj7try, to sFmaj7ee things from your Cmaj7side
to lFmaj7eave things undefCmaj7ined
But Fmaj7where would you aGdvise?
That I genFerate a new deCmaj7sign
For the miFssing piece I have to diCmaj7sguise.
Saw a hFeading in the paper that your Cmaj7love is just some myth I deGvised.
And tEmhings like that you can nFever take back agaCmaj7in.   oh oh
TEmhings like that you can nFever take back agaCmaj7in        oh
[Pre-Chorus]
                Am Fig.1            Cmaj7
If there was a time      that you loved me
                Am Fig.1           Cmaj7
If there was a time      when you said that you want me
tGo believe.
[Chorus]
But  Emcan't go bFack babCmaj7y.
 EmCan't go bFack babCmaj7y.
And Fmaj7sometimes GI pray Cmaj7for the rain.
Fmaj7lalalala lala  lCmaj7am
Fmaj7lalalala lala  lCmaj7am
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7You and your gFmaj7lass world that does Cmaj7ring
though at Fmaj7times a frozen Cmaj7thing
It encFmaj7loses you and Gits crystalline.
Look so loFvely but you'll have to dCmaj7ecide
If you could pFlay it in reverse then you'd fCmaj7ind.
That you'd betFter reconsider all the Cmaj7love you took in
and then cast aGside
But tEmhings like that you can nFever take back agaCmaj7in.   oh oh
TEmhings like that you can nFever take back agaCmaj7in.
[Pre-Chorus]
                Am Fig.1            Cmaj7
If there was a time      when you loved me
                Am Fig.1           Cmaj7
If there was a time      when you said that you want me
tGo believe.
[Chorus]
But  Emcan't go bFack babCmaj7y.
 EmCan't go bFack babCmaj7y.
And Fmaj7sometimes GI pray Cmaj7for the rain.
Fmaj7lalalala lala  lCmaj7am
Fmaj7lalalala lala  lCmaj7am
[Bridge]
   AmGirl, I know I'm lCmaj7osing time without you.
Never Gmhad a second chance before Fthis time.
But thiAngs like that they nDever do work out rGight.
tAhings like that well they neDver do work out Gright.
[Chorus]
 EmCan't go bFack babCmaj7y.
EmCan't go baFck babyCmaj7.
And Fmaj7sometimes GI pray Cmaj7for the rain.
Fmaj7lalalala lala  lCmaj7am
Fmaj7lalalala lala  lCmaj7am
