R.E.M. – I’ll Take The Rain Chords

The rain came down, the rain came down
The rain came down on me
The wind blew strong
And summer’s song it fades to memory

I knew you when, I loved you then
In summer’s yawn, now hopeless
You laid me bare and marked me there
The promises we made

I used to think, as birds take wing,
They sing through life, so why can’t we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
If this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain,

The nighttime creases summer
Schemes and stretches out to stay
The sun shine down, you came around,
You loved the easy days

But now the sun, the winters come
I wanted just to say
That if I hold I’d hope you’d fold
And open up inside, inside of me

I used to think, as birds take wing,
They sing through life, so why can’t we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
If this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain,
I’ll take the rain

This winter’s song I’ll sing along
I’ve searched its still refrain.
I’ll walk alone if given this
Take wing, and celebrate the rain

I used to think, as birds take wing,
They sing through life, so why can’t we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
If this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain,
I’ll take the rain
