[Verse 1]

Ebsus2
Under the sun, there is nothing to hide

F#sus2
Under the moon, the stranger waits inside

Ebsus2
People disappear, the music fades away

C#sus2                           Cbsus2
Splashing through the rain, I'll dream with them one day


[Pre-Chorus]

Abm          F#       C#
It's raining, raining, on the streets of New York City

Abm          F#        E
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven


[Chorus]

Abm7          Abm6
I may have wasted all those years

Abm             Ab5
They're not worth their time in tears

C#7sus         C#7               C#7sus
I may have spent too long in darkness, in the warmth of my fears



[Verse 2]

Ebm
Take a look at yourself, not at anyone else

F#
Tell me what you see...

Ebm
I know the air is cold, I know the streets are

C#                               B
cruel, but I'll enjoy the ride today, hey


[Pre-Chorus]

Abm          F#       C#
It's raining, raining, on the streets of New York City

Abm          F#        E
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven... Raining deep in heaven


[Chorus]

Abm7          Abm6
I may have wasted all those years

Abm7            Ab5
They're not worth their time in tears

C#7sus         C#7               C#7sus
I may have spent too long in darkness, in the warmth of my fears

Abm7      Abm6
As I walk through all my myths

Abm7           Ab5
Rising and sinking like the waves

C#7sus         C#7
With my thoughts wrapped around me

C#7sus
Through a trial of tears

[Bridge]

-RIFF 2 under vocals until stated-

Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car

                                      A5  E5 F#5
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up

F#5      E5          C#5     B5  Bsus2
Not much better than the man you hate

C#sus2 Esus2

[Verse 1]

Abm         F#    C#
Still awake, I continue to move along

Abm          F#        C#
Cultivating my own nonsense

Abm                 F#   C#
Welcome to the wasteland, where you'll find

Abm  F#            C#
Ashes, nothing but ashes


[Verse 2]

Abm        F#               C#
Still awake, bringing change, bringing movement, bringing life

Abm            F#           C#
A silent prayer, thrown away, disappearing in the air

Abm   F#       C#
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me

Abm            F#  C#
Nowhere to turn, I look for a way back

Abm   F#    C#
Home

[Chorus]

Abm         F#       C#
It's raining, raining, raining, deep in heaven

Abm         F#       C#
It's raining, raining, raining, deep in heaven

Abm         F#       C#
It's raining, raining, raining, deep in heaven

Abm         F#       C#
It's raining, raining, raining, deep in heav-
