Key: A
Intro:
If I had my way, I would never go back
With my back to the wall, I'd just let myself fall
Watch the days turn to black
But now and again I find, you cross my mind
If I was a train, I would never slow down
With my head in the sky and the world going by
Every nowhere town
As I write one more letter to you
Lord I can't change the things that I do
Chorus:
One day, when you discover
Just why I ran, ran away from you lover
I know I'm to blame, I feel so ashamed
Call out your name, after the rain
Bridge:
(A C# E) F#m - E - Bm - D - D - A - A
What do you want me to do
I've thrown away everything for you
I've wasted my dreams and each day it seems
I'm losing my way back to you
It's time for a change, what else can I do
With the clock ticking time better make up my mind
Is it me or is it you
And tonight as I'm losing control
I will drink to the queen of my soul
(Chorus)
After the rain
After the rain
... (Repeat to Fade)
