Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  hear the drizzle  of the rain_ Like  a memory  it falls
Soft  and warm  continuing_ Tapping on  my roof  and walls
And  from the shelter  of my mind_ Through  the window of  my eyes
I  gaze beyond  the rain  drenched streets_ To  England where  my heart lies
My  mind's distracted  and diffused_ My thoughts  are many miles  away
They  lie with you  when you're  asleep_ And  kiss you when  you start  your day
 
And  a song I was writing  is left undone_ I  don't know why  I spent  the time
Writing song  I can't  believe_ With  words that tear  and strain  to rhyme
And  so you see  I have come to doubt_ All  that I  once held  as true
I  stand alone  without  beliefs_ The  only truth  I know  is you
And  as I watch  the drops of rain weave  their weary paths  and die
I  know that I  am like  the rain_ There  but for the grace  of you  go I.

[G]I hear the [C]drizzle of the [G]rain_ [Am]Like a [Em]memo[C]ry it [Bm7]falls
[G]Soft and [Bm]warm con[G]tinu[C]ing_ [Am]Tapping [Em]on my [D]roof and [G]walls [C]    [G]

[G]And from the [C]shelter of my [G]mind_ [Am]Through the [Em]window [C]of my [Bm7]eyes
[G]I gaze be[Bm]yond the [G]rain drenched [C]streets_ [Am]To England [Em]where my [D]heart [G]lies [C]    [G]

[G]My mind's dis[C]tracted and [G]diffused_ [Am]My [Em]thoughts are many [C]miles a[Bm7]way
[G]They lie with [Bm]you when [G]you're a[C]sleep_ [Am]And kiss you [Em]when you [D]start your [G]day [C]
 [G]

[G]And a song I was [C]writing is left [G]undone_ [Am]I don't know [Em]why I [C]spent the [Bm7]time
[G]Writing [Bm]song I [G]can't be[C]lieve_ [Am]With words that [Em]tear and [D]strain to [G]rhyme [C]     [G]

[G]And so you [C]see I have come to [G]doubt_ [Am]All that [Em]I once [C]held as [Bm7]true
[G]I stand a[Bm]lone with[G]out be[C]liefs_ [Am]The only [Em]truth I [D]know is [G]you [C]    [G]

[G]And as I [C]watch the drops of [G]rain [Am]weave their [Em]weary [C]paths and [Bm7]die
[G]I know that [Bm]I am [G]like the [C]rain_ [Am]There but for the [Em]grace of [D]you go [G]I. [C]     [G]
