D                F              G
Take me inside, don't leave me here
D                      F           G
I'm breaking in two, shaking with fear
  D             F          G
Throw me a line or let me go
       A#            C           D
Just don't leave me here in the rain

My soul is on fire, I'm a desperate man
I'm battered and torn, I do what I can
Just look at these tears, flow down my face
Take me in out of the rain

Chorus:
A                G      D
Take me inside, lay me down
A                     G  D
I'll love you now and always
A               G         D
Give me a sign or let me go
       F             C           D
Just don't leave me here in the rain
        F              C           D
I said don't leave me here in the rain

Twisting our fate, send our lives down
Out of control, spinning around
I am still in tonight, leave me behind
Come to me out of the rain

Chorus

Take me inside, lay me down
I'll love you now and always
Give me a sign, or let me go
Take me inside, lay me down
I'll love you now and always
Give me a sign, or let me go
Just don't take me out of the rain
Said don't leave me here in the rain
I said don't leave me here in the rain
I said don't leave me here in the rain

Said don't
Shaking with fear
You know how I feel
Out of control
