R.E.M. - I'll Take The Rain: chords

Am
the rain came down
Fmaj7
the rain came down
Am             G       F
the rain came down on me.

The wind blew strong
And summer's song
Fades to memory

I knew you when
I loved you then
In summer's yawn now helpless

You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made

Chorus:
C           Am                 Em
I used to think as birds take wing
                   F
they sing through life so why can't we?
C             Am                  Em
you cling to this, you claim your best
             F
if this is what you're offering
C              Am                  Em F
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain

The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay

The sun shines down
You came around
You loved the easy days

But now the sun
The winter's come
I wanted just to say

That if I hold
I'd hoped you'd fold
Open up inside, inside of me

Chorus

This winter's song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain

I'll walk alone
If given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain

Chorus

I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain

I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
