Rain on the Wind

Am                           C
It's all flooding back to me now.
        D
All the things I have done,
C              Am
that I really shouldn't have.
                                         C
I'm recalling things from... oh, so long ago;
                D
it's like a bad dream from my childhood.
C                  Am
It's not making me feel good.


[chorus]

Am
There's a rain on the wind,
D
it's washing over me;

draining away
   C                Am
my fears and bitter memories.

I bear no grudges;
      D
don't wanna cause anyone pain.

But my games over now.
       C
I just wish
        D         Am
I could play it again.


Am                          C
It's coming at me thick and fast,
D                                C
's like an instant replay of all my mistakes.
Am                                  C
I'm reliving things I wish I hadn't done
          Am
the first time
D
and it's hurting me bad;
C            Am
turning my insides.


[chorus 2]

Am
There's a rain on the wind,
D
it's washing over me;

covering up
C              Am
the tears that come to me.

It's blowing my mind;
D
doing my head in.

I need some time to think
   C               Am
of what the future holds for me.


[bridge]

Am                  A
I could end it all now.
   Am             D
It couldn't be as painful
       C
as the scars
   D
my past
    Am
has given me.


Am                            C
The angel of death sits by my side.
D
Waiting for my soul;
C                  Am 
waiting to free my mind.
                                    C
As the curtain falls upon my last encore
D
I can't find the words:
        C               Am
they've all been said before.


[chorus]

Am
There's a rain on the wind,
D
it's washing over me;

draining away
   C                Am
my fears and bitter memories.

I bear no grudges;
      D
don't wanna cause anyone pain.

But my games over now.
       C
I just wish
        D         Am
I could play it again.
