Rain
Bishop Allen
(verse)
Abed clothes, why am i in bed clothes?
watEching out the window
watching what i don't know
on the fire esAcape now 
hands they start to shake now
ready for the rail to brEeak now
and i'm awake at last awake
Acursing, rattling and cursing
go ahead and do your Eworst then
youDr worst that i can take
CHORUS:
Eoh let the Drain fall down
and wAash this world away
oh let the sky be grey
cause if its ever gonna get any better
its gotta get worse for a day
(verse)
morning, where am i this morning?
now its really pouring, 
crawling up this shore 
and i walk the neighborhood 
and umbrella does no good
and i guess its in my blood
couldn't stop the flood
drowning, everything is drowning
go ahead and take the town
the town is yours to take
CHORUS
calling, calling, falling, falling
grab on my guitar
and paddle with both my arms
headed where the voices are
i'll end up far so far away
CHORUS
Eits gotta get worse for a Dday
its gotta get worse for a day
its gotta get worse for a day
i know
its gotta get worse for a day

Rain

Bishop Allen

(verse)

bed clothes, why am i in bed clothes?

watching out the window

watching what i don't know

on the fire escape now

hands they start to shake now

ready for the rail to break now

and i'm awake at last awake

cursing, rattling and cursing

go ahead and do your worst then

your worst that i can take

CHORUS:

E D

oh let the rain fall down

and wash this world away

oh let the sky be grey

cause if its ever gonna get any better

its gotta get worse for a day

(verse)

morning, where am i this morning?

now its really pouring,

crawling up this shore

and i walk the neighborhood

and umbrella does no good

and i guess its in my blood

couldn't stop the flood

drowning, everything is drowning

go ahead and take the town

the town is yours to take

CHORUS

calling, calling, falling, falling

grab on my guitar

and paddle with both my arms

headed where the voices are

i'll end up far so far away

CHORUS

E D

its gotta get worse for a day

i know

its gotta get worse for a day
