The Dangerous Summer - The Permanent Rain by Misc Unsigned Bands

Song: The Permanent Rain
Album: If You Could Only Keep Me Alive
Tuning: Dropped-D (DADGBE)

Label: Hopeless/Sub-City Records

This is an amazing song with incredibly touching and deep lyrics by a band not so well 
but will surely race up the scene quickly. This is about 95% correct. I don't have the 
notes in the beginning of the song or the singles crescendos in the outro, but still, good enough.

Lyrics:

So why the sudden change, and what’s this all about?
I know they speak your name, but where’s the sound right now?
I can’t stop praying you’ll hear me play.
I know that I’ll be with you there someday.

So where the hell’s my hope, and why can’t I just try?
You know I’ve lost a lot, but I won’t let this die.
I know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
and another reason not to fear the sky;
no, not tonight.

Can I pull out all the stops, and get out of this town?
I want to make you proud, but I really don’t know how.
I know it’s not helping to hear me say,
“I wish it was me in the car that day.”
Though something made me stop and think of what you said.
You know it meant a lot, but I was just a kid,
one with all these dreams of growing up
and playing music on the road.
I’ve been screaming all these years
and thinking of you both.

So where the hell’s my hope, and why can’t I just try?
You know I’ve lost a lot, but I won’t let this die.
I know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
and another reason not to fear the sky;
no, not tonight.

I wrote this note, because I never even told you.
You know I’ve got some things to sing about,like we were young
and holding true to all these songs that always made us pull through,
and now I’ve got some words that I’ll write down.
I’m sending this shit out.

So where the hell’s my hope, and why can’t I just try?
You know I’ve lost a lot, but I won’t let this die.
I know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
and another reason not to fear the sky;
no, not tonight, no, not tonight

So where the hell’s my hope, and why can’t I just try?
You know I’ve lost a lot, but I won’t let this die.
I know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
and another reason not to fear the sky;
no, not tonight, no, not tonight.

So where the hell’s my hope, and why can’t I just try?
You know I’ve lost a lot, but I won’t let this die.
I know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
and another reason not to fear the sky;
no, not tonight.
