[INTRO] 
 C-  Am-  F- G  
[VERSE 1]
CJust after the Amstorm breaks, with the Fperfect amount of Glight,
You can Ccatch a glimpse of Ammagic, if the Ftiming is Gright.
CRainbows are imAmprobable, Fbeautiful, and Grare,
But Cso are you, and Amso is this, the Flove that we Gshare.
[PRE-CHORUS] 
Too Fvast to hold, and too small to name, Cit's no wonder Dwhy 
You Fhave to stand between the rain and the sun to see a Grainbow in the sky.
All the Fthings that had to go right, all the Cthings that had to go wrong 
That Bblead us to the place where we were Ggoing all along.
[CHORUS]
Right now they Ffall aGway, 
Right now it's Amjust us Dtwo,
Right now we Fmake a promise: 
If Gyou do, then I do Ctoo.Am  F  G  
[VERSE 2]
CDon't know how we Amfound it, but we Fdid someGhow.
All the Cmoments of our Amlives, were Fleading up to Gnow.
I Cused to feel unAmcertain, but Fnow I reaGlize 
When I Cwanna see my Amfuture, I just Flook into your Geyes.
[PRE-CHORUS]
Too Fvast to hold, and too small to name, Cit's no wonder Dwhy 
You Fhave to stand between the rain and the sun to see a Grainbow in the sky.
All the Fthings that make you - you, all the Cthings that make me - me, 
That Bblead us to the place where we were Galways meant to be.
[CHORUS]
Right now they Ffall aGway,
Right now it's Amjust us Dtwo, 
Right now we Fmake a promise:
If Gyou do, then I do Ftoo.
[BRIDGE]
A Amrainbow doesn't choose to be a Grainbow, it just shines in the Dsky, 
And there's E7nothing to debate, and there's Fnothing to deny.
E7Love might be a privilege, but Fmarriage is right. 
So to E7all of you detractors who don't Fknow you've lost the fight, 
To E7all of you in the darkness, we're here Gturning on the lights. 
Now I Fstand with you for the Fmaj7world to see, 
My Fadd9love, my Gdreams, and Amme. 
My Flove, my Gdreams, and Cme.
[CHORUS]
Right now they Ffall aGway,
Right now it's Amjust us Dtwo, 
Right now we Fmake a promise:
If Gyou do, then I do Ctoo.
