[Verse 1]
          A                 G#m
She says "honey, why're you crying"
  F#m7               E
I don't know what to say
          A      G#m
It's been 70 and shining
        F#m7      E
For the last 100 days
        A                    G#m
But the whole time I've been pining
    A          E         B
The whole time I've been pained
       A                  G#m
'Cause where I come from, honey
   F#m7        E
It hardly ever rains

       A              G#m
It's a Sunday in this jungle
  F#m7               E
A Monday 'cross the pond
    A             G#m
And you can go to prison here for
F#m7          E
Watering your lawn
      A           G#m
And I have no explanation
    A      E      B
For why I feel so strange
    A                  G#m
But where I come from, honey
   F#m7        B
It hardly ever rains, yes
A                  G#m
Where I come from, honey
   F#m7         E
It hardly ever rains

[Verse 2]
    A              G#m
She scribbles on a napkin
  F#m7         E
I ask if I can see
       A           G#m
It's a cowboy in a red dress
       F#m7             E
With a hat made out of leaves
         A                 G#m
He's got wings on both his shoulders
  A         E         B
I ask "what does this mean?"
          A              E
She says, "Honey, it's a picture of you"
        F#m7                E
Well, I wish that felt like me

        A              G#m
She's a whisper in the silence
     F#m7          E
Some pixels on my phone
       A            G#m
Sayin "no man is an island, but
F#m7         E
Everyone's alone"
          A                    E
And maybe that's what keeps me smiling
      A           E        B
Maybe that's what keeps me sane, 'cause
A                  G#m
Where I come from, honey
   F#m7         B
It hardly ever rains
     A                  E
Yes, where I come from, honey
   F#m7        E
It hardly ever rains

[Verse 3]
    A                 G#m
She calls me from the airport
F#m7            E
Just to say goodbye
    A                     G#m
And that's when it starts pouring
F#m7              E
Teardrops from my eyes
    A               G#m
And I don't have my hopes up
    A       E       B
But I don't have no shame, 'cause
A                  G#m
Where I come from, honey
   F#m7        E
It hardly ever rains

         A                  G#m
Then the lightning hits the concrete
    F#m7       E
The thunder is delayed
    A            B
But I can hear a heartbeat
       F#m7           E
From a hundred miles away
    A             G#m
And I ain't in no danger
    A    E     F#m7
But I am still afraid
       A                  G#m
'Cause where I come from, honey
   F#m7        B
It hardly ever rains
     A                  G#m
Yes, where I come from, honey
   F#m7        E
It hardly ever rains
