[Verse]
C F C
Well I met her last September, in these days I call to mind
G
She's my summer windswept Juliet, my autumn valentine
C F C
Yeah, we sit out on a Sunday to enjoy the sweet sunshine
E7 Am G F G
And she says, baby, how I wish it could be like this all the time
[Chorus]
C
It's gonna take a little rain
F C
To let the grass beneath us grow
C
It's gonna take a little rain
G
Before the flowers start to show
C
Sure, we all won't get our way
E7 Am Am7/G
But there's some things that we don't know
F G
Just trust that on the way to beautiful
C
It's gonna take a little rain
[Verse]
C F C
Well we parted on a Sunday, much too gloomy for its name
G
And the visions of forever faded into yesterday
C
And I grow tired thinking about starting over
F C
And all I can help but say
E7 Am G F G
Is good Lord, why does it always have to be this way?
[Chorus]
C
It's gonna take a little rain
F C
To let the grass beneath us grow
C
It's gonna take a little rain
G
Before the flowers start to show
C
Sure, we all won't get our way
E7 Am Am7/G
But there's some things that we don't know
F G
Just trust that on the way to beautiful
C F C G
It's gonna take a little rain
[Bridge]
F C
And the dark storms will come to bring you dark days
G7 C
The rivers will rise and what they want, they will take
F C
But that storm will pass and you will remain
G C
Save the tears in your eyes, love, leave that to the rain
F C
The dark storms will come to bring you dark days
G7 C
The rivers will rise and what they want, they will take
F C
But that storm will pass and you will remain
G C
Save the tears in your eyes, love, leave that to the rain
F C
And when that storm passes, take you by the hand
G7 C
Let you know I'll be forever your man
F C
And you'll know this love was never in vain
G
Save the tears in your eyes, love
[Chorus]
C
'Cause it's gonna take a little rain
F C
To let the grass beneath us grow
C
It's gonna take a little rain
G
Before the flowers start to show
C
Sure, we all won't get our way
E7 Am Am7/G
But there's some things that we don't know
F G
Just trust that on the way to beautiful
C F C G
It's gonna take a little rain
