Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Baby, what do you say when love comes down on you

 Rainin' the blues on you

 Like it's never gonna end on you

 And all your dreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' by

 No, baby, I don't know why all God's children cry

 I'll miss your skin, as golden as your wheatfield hair

 And where you go I hope you find out there

Chorus

 A better rain

 The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky

 And lets you know that God's alive

 A better rain

 That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again

  HOLD

And be all right again

 In a better rain

Someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place

 Long after time has erased

 All the words like razor blades

You'll remember you and me before the flood

 Once upon a time in love, a beautiful us

I can see you on some stretch of sand

Spinin' round in circles barefoot dancin' in

 A better rain

 The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky

 And lets you know that God's alive

 A better rain

 That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again

  HOLD

And be all right again

 In a better rain

 A better rain

 That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky

 Lets you know that God's alive

 In a better rain

A better rain
