[Verse 1]
    F#m                                           D            A
For you, I've crawled through hell and back, done everything I could
    F#m                                 D              A
But there's a million different ways to ruin something good
            F#m                               D         A
Now the one thing that needs doin' is the one thing  I can take
   F#m                         D                A
To go from someone you adore to someone that you hate

[Chorus]
                D              A
I know you want me to stay the same
                   Bm           F#m
But all that I can offer you is change
             D                 A
I just wanna save you from the pain
                 E
Let it wash away
                D                A
People say that love's a fragile game
                Bm           F#m
So I think it's best I walk away
       D                             E
'Cause you're a candle clingin' to a flame

[Post-Chorus]
                   F#m   D
And, baby, I'm the rain
          A
Baby, I'm, baby, I'm rain
F#m     D
Rain
         A
Baby, I'm, baby, I'm rain

[Verse 2]
        F#m                            D              A
There's times I wish I knew myself and times I wish I learned
       F#m                            D                   A
Not to be someone who feels like everyone they touch they burn
    F#m                                  D           A
One day I know I'll get there, I'll move on from the hurt
    F#m                                        D              A
But 'til that day, I'll happily say, "Shoot me down below the dirt"

[Chorus]
                D              A
I know you want me to stay the same
                   Bm           F#m
But all that I can offer you is change
             D                 A
I just wanna save you from the pain
                 E
Let it wash away
                D                A
People say that love's a fragile game
                Bm           F#m
So I think it's best I walk away
       D                             E
'Cause you're a candle clingin' to a flame

[Post-Chorus]
                   F#m   D
And, baby, I'm the rain
          A
Baby, I'm, baby, I'm rain
F#m     D
Rain
         A
Baby, I'm, baby, I'm-

[Bridge]
           D           A
I can never slow down, slow down
                Bm         F#m
I've lost all my hope now, hope now
                   D          A
I'll let you be the best that you can
        E
Without me, yeah-yeah
           D           A
I can never slow down, slow down
                Bm         F#m
I've lost all my hope now, hope now
                   D          A
I'll let you be the best that you can
        E
Without me

[Chorus]
                D              A
I know you want me to stay the same
                   Bm           F#m
But all that I can offer you is change
             D                 A
I just wanna save you from the pain
                 E
Let it wash away
                D                A
People say that love's a fragile game
                Bm           F#m
So I think it's best I walk away
       D                             E
'Cause you're a candle clingin' to a flame


[Post-Chorus]
                   F#m   D
And, baby, I'm the rain
          A
Baby, I'm, baby, I'm rain
F#m     D
Rain
         A
Baby, I'm, baby, I'm rain
