C C/G Am
Some days go on forever
F7 G
Sometimes the weatherman says rain
C C/G Am
We've all had days staring blankly out the window
F7 G
Watching all the plans we made go down the drain
C C/G Am
She had a long day in the city
F7 G
And it's finally her turn to complain
C C/G Am
I tried to improvise and told her about the time
F7 G
I had to buy a rented tux with a whiskey stain
F7 G
My little story didn't seem to impress her
F7
I was just trying to cheer you up, baby
G
I can make it better
C C/G
Well, I'll get around to it when the sky turns blue, but
Am
'Til then it's gonna have to wait
F7
I'll do it, love to do it for you baby
G
But I can't turn off the rain
C C/G
And it's hard to be patient when you're waiting at the station
Am
Worrying never did anything
F7 G C G Am
I'll do it for you baby but I can't turn off the rain, rain, rain
C
Oh, it's been one of those days
C/G
Trying to find a rock to crawl under
Am
A place to hide my face and I just
F7 G
Want to go pretend like I don't have any friends, but
C C/G Am F7
You have the nerve to call and interrupt my shitty, pity party
G
Just to ask me how it went
C C/G
Well how does it sound like it went, man?
Am
I don't know, closed the door and threw my phone
F7 G
And sat down on the bed, like what the hell
C C/G Am
Like a ghost I felt that guilt surround my soul
F7 G
And I could hear my grandpa's voice saying "listen up boy, listen well"
(Chorus)
F F
Here come the home
F F
Here come the kids
Am
There goes the money you were fronted
F F
Here come the wave
F F Am
It's headed straight at everything that you just bought
F G C B F
And now you're standing on what just became your FEMA parking lot
F G
He said "Baby I don't think that I could make good on that promise this time.
C C/G Am
Oh, that diamond's out of reach."
F7 G
She said, "Honey I don't need a ring, just you more than anything.
C C/G Am
Now that we've lost everything lets just lie on this beach together.
F7 G
I know you love me, you're just saving it for better weather"
(Chorus)
