D
Never 21 when everyone's a sailor
G
Coming up strong at the animal bar
A
Ever loving mug of Mr. Norman Mailer
G
Turn another page at the animal bar
        D
And it won't be long
        G
No, it won't be long
        A
No, it won't be long
            G
Because it can't be long

D
I I I the cry of isolation
A
I I I the high of meditation
G
I I I for sweet precipitation
D
I I I the high of deprivation
        D
And it won't be long
        A
No, it won't be long
        G
No, it won't be long
            D
Because it can't be long

Chorus:
Bm
Rain on my frustration
Em
Stake my claim now break this
Bm
Wash me down my station
Em
Make more rain forsaken
Bm
In between the sky and every piece of the earth
Em
(1,2,3 lets break this)
Bm
Runnin' through the mud
I gotta a feeling of worth
Em
(1,2,3 forsake this)

All aboard the ship
Cause you're gonna need an ark
When the wet comes down
You'll be swimming like a shark
Mopping up the pain and
I'm a little older
Right as rain
At the animal bar
And it won't be long
No it won't be long
No it won't be long
Because it can't be long

I I I the cry of isolation
I I I the high of meditation
I I I for sweet precipitation
I I I the high of deprivation
And it won't be long
No it won't be long
No it won't be long
Because it can't be long

Chorus

Bm              A              G D
Raindrops will fall from the sky
 Bm              A              G D
Stealing their shape from your eye
Bm         A              G  D
Now we can all get some sleep
     Bm
The water, the water,
           A                  G   D
the water saving us from the heat

Some things will die in their place
Others will leave little trace
Fire will come find its day
The water, the water,
the water washing it all away

Chorus:
Rain on my frustration
Stake my claim now break this
Wash me down my station
Makes more rain forsaken
In between the sky and every piece of the earth
(1,2,3 let's break this)
In between the sky and every piece of the earth
(1,2,3 forsake this)
In between the sky and every piece of the earth
(1,2,3 forsake this)
In between the sky and every piece of the earth
(1,2,3 forsake this)
