G
Flipped into the wind
C
Like the ashes of her cigarette
D
He got scattered and thrown on the breeze
G
As he tried to forget
He lost all his heat
C
And his heart never will be the same
D
He got lighter than air
G
But he'll only come down in the rain
verse 2
G
Strung out and hung out to dry
C
Laughin' under the line
D
It's not such a dignified place
G
But he really don't mind
G
He says with his feet on the ground
C
He'd have nothin' to gain
D
Claims he likes it up there
G
And he'll only come down in the rain
G Em
Comin' down in the rain
C
Washin' outta the sky
D
Loaded down with the pain
G
There just ain't no way to fly
G
You can read him as clear
C
As the wall where he once wrote his name
D
It was right next to hers
G
But it'll only come down in the rain
Instrumental
verse 3
G
Burnin' himself out on a limb
C
Like a leaf in the fall
D
He blazed for awhile
G
Now he's feelin' all dried up and small
G
The colors all gone
C
Disappeared, near as quick as it came
D
He says he can't stay up
G
But, he'll only come down in the rain
G Em
Comin' down in the rain
C
Washin' outta the sky
D
Loaded down with the pain
G
There just ain't no way to fly
G
You can read him as clear
C
As the wall where he once wrote his name
D
It was right next to hers
G
But it'll only come down in the rain
G
You can read him as clear
C
As the wall where he once wrote his name
D
It was right next to hers
G
But it'll only come down in the rain
