She was the sun pouring down. Rainbows shine from her face illuminated, beautiful and wise

Em7 D/F# G Dsus A Em7 D/F# G Dsus A

I'd walk the earth, but I feel I need to rely on something

Em7 D/F# G Dsus A Em7 D/F# G Dsus A

We can fight our fears. I can make you cry. Shed our tears and say goodbye

Em7 D/F# G Dsus A Em7 D/F# G

What we had has now become forever leaves of gray, as they all fall down in Autumn

Dsus A

meets the earth and floats away

Out where the rain rolls on, a tiny bit of you, out where the rain rolls on

Em7 G Dsus A Em7 G Dsus A

Maybe if I was in the sky with a radar searching around for something that seems I won't ever find

Em7 G Dsus A Em7 G Dsus A

I'd walk the earth but I feel I need to rely on something, but you need to rely on me

[Refrain]

Em7 G Dsus A

It's a simple dream for just you and me yeah

Out where the rain rolls on, a tiny bit of you

Em7 D/F# G Dsus A

Out where the rain rolls on, with nothing more to prove

Out where the rain rolls on, would never leave the strain
