D                         Dmaj7
 Did you stand there all alone
   Em            G           A     D
Oh, I cannot explain what's goin' down
                        Dmaj7
I can see you standin' next to me
Em          G        A           D
In and out somewhere else right now
       Dmaj7      Bm
You sigh look away
G              A       D
I can see it clear as day
              Dmaj7      Bm
Close your eyes so afraid
 G                A    D
Hide behind that baby face

D       Dmaj7       Bm  Em
Doot do do, doot-do do

Chorus:
Bm           D        G
You can drive all night
                F#m                     Bm
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
              D            G
You wanna find peace of mind
F#m
Lookin' for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall, you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all, I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydreams
You were only seventeen
So sweet with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees

Do-do-do, do-do-do

Chorus:
You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
If we can find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

Em      A    Em
Do-do, do-do-do
    D         A
Do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do

Chorus:
You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
If we can find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain
