Walk Between the Raindrops
Intro A E B (4x)
C#m B E C#m B
E
Don't know what's gotten into you, must be something in your genes
C#m B E C#m B E
About this time I was crazy, too, 'N most times in between
C#m B E C#m B E
But I survived to live another day, I might've learned a trick or two
C#m B E C#m
B E
So just remember when your old and your gray, Some of what I taught to you
(chorus 1)
A E B A
Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger
E B A
Keep a line open to the folks back home
E B A
Don't run and hide when everything changes
E B E
Walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
A E B (2x)
C#m B E C#m B E
You're laying low, staying outta sight, Hanging out in your room
C#m B E C#m B E
You're up all night by the monitor's light, Sleeping through the afternoon
C#m B E C#m B E
Well, I won't tell you how you gotta be, You're old enough to make a choice
C#m B E C#m B E
It's just that in between all the words on the screen, I doubt you'll ever hear a human voice
(chorus 2)
A E B A
Stay alive inside, don't be a stranger
E B A
Keep a line open to the outside world
E B A
Don't run and hide when everything changes
E B E
Walk between the raindrops smooth as a pearl
A E B (2x)
(bridge)
C#m E
You're at that age And you know it all, And you're not even hearing what I say
C#m B
Knowing better never kept me outta trouble, I don't care I'm gonna tell you anyway
