G            Am         D   G
I'm like the rain in a downpour
G        Am           D    G
I wash away what you long for
    Em         Bm            C         G
And I wave goodbye with the sun in my eyes
G               D          G
I wish I could be there tonight

I'm like the wind in the canyon
I'm there then I'm gone in a second
You're growing older in peace where you're at
I wish I could be there for that

Em      D/F#   G
But I've moved on
        C G/B    Am
Like a rolling stone
     Em  D/F# G
In a crowded room
      C G/B D
I'm alone

I'm like the rain in a downpour
I wash away what you long for
And I wave goodbye with the sun in my eyes
I wish I could be there tonight
Oh, oh, yeah

You're like the tide in the deep blue
Cause you're always there when I need you
And when you need someone to carry you through
I'm gonna be there for you
I'm gonna be there for you
