D#               Cm            G#           D#
When it rains it pours but you didn't even notice
         D#         Cm                  G#
It ain't rainin' anymore, it's hard to breathe
             A#sus4  A#
when all you know is
      Cm          G7                Cm     A#    F
The struggle of staying above, the rising water line

Chorus:
           D#            Cm          G#
Well, the sky is finally opened, the rain and
               D#   A#
wind stopped blowin'
            Cm               F              A#
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
          D#              Cm                 G#
You hold tight to your umbrella, but darlin' I'm
                D#    A#
just tryin' to tell ya
             Cm            D#
That there's always been a rainbow hangin'
A#        D#
over your head

If you could see what I see
You'd be blinded by the colors
Yellow, red, and orange, and green
And at least a million others
So tie up the boat, take off your coat
And take a look around

Chorus:
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow
Hangin' over your head

       Cm               G/B
So tie up the bow, take off your coat
     A#           F
and take a look around
      D#/G       G#
Everything is alright now

Chorus:
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
Let go of your umbrella
'Cause, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow
Hangin' over your head
Yeah, there's always been a rainbow
Hangin' over your head

Mmm
It'll all be alright
