Here I am
Sitting in the same place I have for years
Here I am
Looking at the same face I have for years

A       G 
Oh, the rain
A                G    
Makes a familiar sound
A              G                                A  
When the drops hit the roof before they hit the ground
                 G                  A
That's the sound that's bound to be found
G  
Way down
          Eb min    
In the middle


And oh, place to place
Is it really dues they say or just a (mother-effin') waste?
Close my eyes
It's a cool day far away in an amazing time

Oh, the rain
Makes a familiar sound
When the drops hit the roof before they hit the ground
That's the sound that's bound to be found
Oh, the rain
Is it my time to steal?
I've got the cards, do I know how to deal?
Will I stamp myself with a safety seal?
       A         Bb       B
Will I roll just like the wheel?

B                                                            
Find myself alive and well
A                                                            
The story so hard to tell
Ab                                                            
About the time
                    F#     
I thought I saw the light
B                              A  
Something way deep down inside telling me
                   Ab
That it is time to fly
               F#
Or to at least try
         G
At least try
         Ab    G   F#  G   Ab    A (back to verse riff)                             
At least try - y - y - y - y --- y


Find myself alive and well
The story so hard to tell
About the time
I thought I saw the light
Something way deep down inside telling me
That it is time to fly
Or to at least try
At least try
At least try-y-y-y-y---y

Oh so it goes
I wonder if the motivational winds will ever blow
The seeds we sow
Always spring up nicely, inevitable weeds will grow

Oh, the rain
Is it my time to steal?
I've got the cards, do I know how to deal?
Will I stamp myself with a safety seal?
Will I roll just like the wheel?
Oh, the rain
Makes a familiar sound
When the drops hit the roof before they hit the ground
That's the sound that's bound to be found
Way way way down
In the middle
