         G                        Em         D
It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape
          C               D     G
And that I've been waking up alone
 G                        Em      D
Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling
      C              D      G
That you ain't ever coming home
       Em        D          C              G
But today, the tears ain't gonna hit the floor
                                      Em         D
Cause the boat's in the bay and it's calling my name
        C          D        G
So I'm heading on out the door

Chorus:
 G         C                      G
Cause the sun is too bright, the sky is too blue
  D                     G
Beer's too cold to be thinking 'bout you
       C                        G
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
  C            D     G   G Em  C D G
Save it for a rainy day

  G                           Em            D
When I turned the ignition I knew I'd been missing
     C           D          G
The feel of the wind on my face
G                           Em            D
I was stuck in a habit of wondering what happened
     C           D        G
Too busy taking all the blame
        Em       D               C              G
Got a drink, or two, that's as fool proof a remedy
 G                              Em       D
It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl
 C            D      G
Kinda making eyes at me

Chorus

            C                     G
Yeah, the music's too good, my friends are all out
             D                   G
And they're all too high to be bringing them down
         C                       G
If they ask about you, I've got nothing to say
      C             D     G
I'll save it for a rainy day

  G                                 Em        D
There'll be plenty of time for what ifs and why's
     C               D    G
And how'd I let you get away
 G                        Em          D
But the lying in bed all stuck in my head
         C     D       G
Is just gonna have to wait

Chorus

 G         C                     G
Yeah, the music's too good, my friends are all out
             D                   G
And they're all too high to be bringing them down
         C                       G
If they ask about you, I've got nothing to say
      C             D     G
I'll save it for a rainy day

       C                        G
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
  C            D     G Em
Save it for a rainy day
  C            D     G Em D C D C D G
Save it for a rainy day
