Bm Tripped on the night as the darkness fell
Em Down to the bottom of an endless Bm world
Em I went down early, and I came back late
Bm Never saw the devil standing at the gate
Now G here you are again, Em baby
Distant Bm rain.
Bm Put it all on the table, kept nothing hid
Em Sold my love out to the highest Bm bid
Em If you had secrets, darling, I couldn’t tell
Bm So throw another coin in the wishing well
G Thunder on the plains
Em Distant Bm rain.
Em I don’t know when I crossed the Bm line
The one you Em had in the back of your Bm mind
Em It’s getting cold, baby come inside
Bm There ain’t no place left for Em us to hide
G We can wash these stains
Em Distant Bm rain.
Bm Born in the side of something real
Em I don’t know how you make me Bm feel
Em I never was too certain
Yeah, but now I got my Bm doubts
G Like a runaway train
Em Distant Bm rain.
Bm I saw the writing on the wall
I wasn’t sure if I could read it all
Em It’s like the sky’s on fire
And then you go asking for a Bm sign
G That only the night could contain Em
Bm Distant rain
Em Things were okay. Now they’re getting out of hand
Bm I’m a stranger in these shadowlands
Em We used to burn to remember
Now we burn to forget
Bm Break the chains
That are soaking wet
G Now here you come again
Em Distant Bm rain
Distant rain……
