G
Flipped into the wind
                           C
Like the ashes of her cigarette
       D
He got scattered and thrown on the breeze
                  G
As he tried to forget

He lost all his heat
                                C
And his heart never will be the same
        D
He got lighter than air
                                G
But he'll only come down in the rain

[Verse 2]

G
Strung out and hung out to dry
                   C
Laughin' under the line
     D
It's not such a dignified place
                    G
But he really don't mind

G
He says with his feet on the ground
                     C
He'd have nothin' to gain
          D
Claims he likes it up there
                                G
And he'll only come down in the rain

[Chorus 1]

G                  Em
Comin' down in the rain
                  C
Washin' outta the sky
                     Am
Loaded down with the pain
                           D
There just ain't no way to fly

G
You can read him as clear
                                    C
As the wall where he once wrote his name
       D
It was right next to hers
                                G
But it'll only come down in the rain

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

G
Burnin' himself out on a limb
                   C
Like a leaf in the fall
   D
He blazed for awhile
                                  G
Now he's feelin' all dried up and small

G
The colors all gone
                                 C
Disappeared, near as quick as it came
        D
He says he can't stay up
                                 G
But, he'll only come down in the rain

[Chorus 2]

G                  Em
Comin' down in the rain
                  C
Washin' outta the sky
                     Am
Loaded down with the pain
                           D
There just ain't no way to fly

G
You can read him as clear
                                    C
As the wall where he once wrote his name
       D
It was right next to hers
                                G
But it'll only come down in the rain

G
You can read him as clear
                                    C
As the wall where he once wrote his name
       D
It was right next to hers
                                G
But it'll only come down in the rain
