G G C C
When Gyou fell
FroGm the sky
We all stopCped and stood outsidCe to wash our clothesG  
    GBaby we got CsoakedC  
When Gyou fell
FroGm the sky
I felt that Cburning in mCy eyes, drove me insGane
I thought that you were Gholy water but you were just acCid rainC  G  
[Verse 1]
TherGe's a drought in CalCifornia
The weeks turCned into months my dearG  
And I'd wait up alGl night for youC  
The minutes turned iCnto fucking yearsG  
And I seGe it through a skylight from a miCle away, a mile awaCyG  
I replaGy all the highlights from a differCent state, a difAmfereEmnt state
[Chorus]
When Gyou fell
FroGm the sky
We alBml sCtopped and stood outsidAme to wash our clothesG

I felt that Cburning in mCy eyeAms, Gdrove me insane
I thought that you were Gmholy water but you were just acCid rainAm  G  
[Verse 2]
I filled my cGup from the tap
I let my Gsips overlap
I let thCe sink overflow
I drink it dCown 'til I'm bouncedG  
And I feGel like I can't be honest
About anBmything I want it
Cause Cit’s haunting me with memories
Without Ceven talking and I Dpray
For a drought again
Yeah I pray, for damaging it
Though when I’d Ggive anything
To just tGake back the love that CI misplaced in youD
