[Intro]
E B E
[Verse 1]
A E
Sometimes I wonder how the simple rain can weep
F# B
Why the winds a lonely child that cries itself to sleep
E A
I've envied the sunlight, the amber of its smile
E B E
Wished it could be borrowed for a while
[Chorus]
A E
If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
F# B
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
E A
If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine
E B E
I would find some special place to shine
[Instrumental]
A E F# B E A E B E
[Verse 2]
A E
But all the rain I'll ever be is locked up in my eyes
F# B
When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes
E A
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
E B E
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain
[Chorus]
A E
If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
F# B
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
E A
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
E B E
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain
A B E
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain
