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
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 
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  
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 spent the time
 G      Bm     G       C   
Writing song I can't believe 
Am               Em         D       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  
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 
There but for the grace of you go I
