The story behind the song

This song captures the feeling of needing to escape when life's troubles become overwhelming. It's about recognizing that some things just aren't worth dwelling on right now, choosing instead to step out the door and leave the "wondering what happened" for another time. Released in 2015 from Kenny Chesney's album The Big Revival, it offers a moment of relief from the daily grind. At its heart, it's an anthem for choosing joy and deferring worries until a "rainy day."

SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY

KENNY CHESNEY

G Em D C D G G Em D C D G

INTRO:

VERSE:

G Em D

It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape

C D G

And that I've been waking up alone

G Em D

Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling

C D G

That you ain't ever coming home

Em D C G

But today, the tears ain't gonna hit the floor

Em D

Cause the boat's in the bay and it's calling my name

C D G

So I'm heading on out the door

CHORUS:

G C G

Cause the sun is too bright, the sky is too blue

D G

Beer's too cold to be thinking 'bout you

C G

Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away

C D G G Em C D G

Save it for a rainy day

VERSE:

G Em D

When I turned the ignition I knew I'd been missing

C D G

The feel of the wind on my face

G Em D

I was stuck in a habit of wondering what happened

C D G

Too busy taking all the blame

Em D C G

Got a drink, or two, that's as fool proof a remedy

G Em D

It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl

C D G

Kinda making eyes at me

CHORUS:

G C G

Cause the sun is too bright, the sky is too blue

D G

Beer's too cold to be thinking 'bout you

C G

Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away

C D G

Save it for a rainy day

CHORUS:

C G

Yeah, the music's too good, my friends are all out

D G

And they're all too high to be bringing them down

C G

If they ask about you, I've got nothing to say

C D G

I'll save it for a rainy day

INTERLUDE:

C G D G C G C D G

VERSE:

G Em D

There'll be plenty of time for what ifs and why's

C D G

And how'd I let you get away

G Em D

But the lying in bed all stuck in my head

C D G

Is just gonna have to wait

CHORUS:

G C G

Cause the sun is too bright, the sky is too blue

D G

Beer's too cold to be thinking 'bout you

C G

Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away

C D G

Save it for a rainy day

CHORUS:

G C G

Yeah, the music's too good, my friends are all out

D G

And they're all too high to be bringing them down

C G

If they ask about you, I've got nothing to say

C D G

I'll save it for a rainy day

OUTRO:

Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
