AHow can I see what I'm leaving for
AHow can I give what I gave before
AHow can you tell me that you want me to stay
AHow can I stay when I'm trying to say
That CI can lDive without the rAain
AYes CI can liDve without the rAain
How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
CNow I can liDve without the rCain
CThat's falling on my hAead
CRain that's falling on my hAead
CRain that's falling
FRain that's falling
ERain that's falling on my hAead
I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light
I'm feeling tight tonight and that's alright
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
