Am G
I was raised the northern way
Am G
And my father had a northern name
C G         F C             Am      G   F C
I did my crying out in the pouring rain
Am G
And a season turned into another one
Am G
I found a heart bright like the morning sun
C G            F        C
He touched my lips (so softly)
          Am    G  F C
With his fingertips

Chorus:
      C
I've kept the rain falling down on me
         F             G
All the time, all the time oh oh
      C
I've kept the rain falling down on me
         F             G
All the time, all the time

And some things in life won't ever change
There's a smell of a rusty chain
And of love disappearing like an aeroplane

Chorus - x3
