G           C              G
  I hear the drizzle of the rain
Am       Em  C     Bm7
  Like a memory it falls
G          Bm      G   C
  Soft and warm continuing
Am        Em    D        G     C G     C G
  Tapping on my roof and walls.

G            C             G
And from the shelter of my mind
Am            Em     C     Bm7
  Through the window of my eyes
G          Bm      G             C
 I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
Am   Em      D              G    C G     C G
  To England where my heart lies.

G              C              G
  My mind's distracted and diffused
Am   Em           C           Bm7
  My thoughts are many miles away
G               Bm       G       C
  They lie with you when you're asleep
Am    Em       D                   G   C G     C G
  And kiss you when you start your day.

 G                 C                 G
  And a song I was writing is left undone
Am        Em         C        Bm7
  I don't know why I spend my time
G        Bm      G       C
 Writing songs I can't believe
Am                Em       D         G   C G     C G
  With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

 G           C                  G
  And so you see I have come to doubt
Am         Em     C       Bm7
  All that I once held as true
G        Bm        G     C
 I stand alone without beliefs
Am         Em      D       G   C G     C G
  The only truth I know is you.

 G         C                 G
  And as I watch the drops of rain
Am            Em    C         Bm7
  Weave their weary paths and die
G            Bm   G        C
 I know that I am like the rain
Am                  Em       D      G  C G     C G
  There but for the grace of you go I.
