Song Title:
“Rhythm of the Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C
Lookin’ out the window, staring at the sky,
G D
The rhythm of the rain is giving me the blues tonight.
Em C
Lonely city streets, painted with the light,
G D
Reflecting all the pain that’s hidden in my mind.

(Chorus)
G D
Oh, the rhythm of the rain, take my pain away,
Em C
Drown my sorrows, wash my guilt today.
G D
The rhythm of the rain, echo my dismay,
Em C
Carry my troubles, let them fade away.

(Verse 2)
Em C
Broken hearts and neon signs, flicker in the night,
G D
The rhythm of the rain is playing with the city lights.
Em C
Every drop’s a memory, every thunder a fight,
G D
The rhythm of the rain keeps playing on this lonesome night.

(Chorus)
G D
Oh, the rhythm of the rain, let it play my song,
Em C
Weave a melody around my wrongs.
G D
The rhythm of the rain, all night long,
Em C
Bare my soul to the world, let it sing along.
