Am D G
1 Sticky sum-mer wea-ther al-ways pains me
2 Then a-gain I can't stand the thought of win-ter
3 Seems like twenty years a-go it was spring-time
Am D G
1 It's like living beneath a blanket I can't breathe
2 Aint got a fire, there's no-body to keep me warm
3 The rain was sweet, the wind was cool and clean
C D G
1 The days are like an ov-en, the nights forev-er
2 The night is grey, and my coff-ee tastes so bit-ter
3 I had a girl, she was a la-dy I could talk to
C D G
1 Nothing to do, not much else to see
2 My memories go ragin, like a storm
3 Now its almost like she'd never been

Ive been a long time lookin' for rainbows
G A D C / G /
Trying' to find a way to believe in tomorrow
Am D G
There was a time I think when I remember dreaming
Am D G
There was a reason I can't find it now
C D G
As I recall, It almost made my life worth livin'
Am D G
It must be hiding like the sun behind the clouds

I've been a long time lookin' for rainbows

Trying' to find a way to believe in tomorrow

Sticky sum-mer weath-er al-ways pains me

The days are like an ov-en, the nights for-ev-er
Am D G
Nothing to do, not much else to see
