Rain
                                         C
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
                                   G
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
                                 Am
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
                               F
All of me changed like midnight

F
My town was a wasteland
 C
Full of cages, full of fences
                                 G
Pageant queens and big pretenders
                             Am
But for some, it was paradise
F
My boy was a montage
    C
A slow-motion, love potion
                               G
Jumping off things in the ocean
                                    Am
I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
He was sunshine, I was midnight

Chorus:
Rain
                                         C
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
                                   G
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
                                 Am
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight

It came like a postcard
Picture perfect shiny family
Holiday peppermint candy
But for him, it's every day
So I peered through a window
A deep portal, time travel
All the love we unravel
And the life I gave away
'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight rain

Chorus:
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight rain
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight

F
I guess sometimes we all get
              C
Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
        G
And he never thinks of me
            Am
Except for when I'm on TV
F
I guess sometimes we all get
              C
Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
       G
And I never think of him
           Am
Except on midnights like this
                                         C G Am C G Am
(Midnights like this, midnights like this)
