Take This Rain — Browne Jackson

Intro G6 C D x 2

           G                C                 D
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand
               G             C              D
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand
       C                D           G   G/F#      C/E
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three
                         D
And I can't find my own among the directions they're all going
            G                C                 D
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
       G               C                D
It's alright take this rain as your new address
       C               D           C               D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
                 G          C               D
'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind
          G                C                 D
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time
      C             D               G   G/F#       C/E
Going crazier every day watching our love slipping away
                                   D
'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted and the only light I've known
                G                C                 D
But baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
       G               C                D
It's alright take this rain as your new address
       C               D           C               D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
          G
You're going to be free

C           F             G              C
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see
         Am              Em                F                G
Take the way I went on believing you might still believe in me
    C         F           G              C
And I still want the love I always thought our love could be
    A#              F             D
But some things can't be changed take this rain
                G           C           D
You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
            G                 C           D
And know my love and my desperation are one in the same
              C         D             G  G/F#          C/E
And where our footprints used to be there'll be nothing but the sea
                                 D
And the tide and the wind and the open sky and the unbroken horizon
            G                C                 D
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness
       G               C                 D
It's alright take this pain and all your sadness
       C               D           C               D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain
       C               D              G    C D
It's alright take this rain you're going to be free
