	        G 
Flipped into the wind 
                           C 
Like the ashes of her cigarette 
       D 
He got scattered and thrown on the breeze 
                  G 
As he tried to forget 

He lost all his heat 
                                C 
And his heart never will be the same 
        D 
He got lighter than air 
                                G 
But he'll only come down in the rain 

verse 2 

G 
Strung out and hung out to dry 
                   C 
Laughin' under the line 
     D 
It's not such a dignified place 
                    G 
But he really don't mind 

G 
He says with his feet on the ground 
                     C 
He'd have nothin' to gain 
          D 
Claims he likes it up there 
                                G 
And he'll only come down in the rain 

G Em Comin' down in the rain C Washin' outta the sky D Loaded down with the pain G There just ain't no way to fly G You can read him as clear C As the wall where he once wrote his name D It was right next to hers G But it'll only come down in the rain
Instrumental verse 3 G Burnin' himself out on a limb C Like a leaf in the fall D He blazed for awhile G Now he's feelin' all dried up and small G The colors all gone C Disappeared, near as quick as it came D He says he can't stay up G But, he'll only come down in the rain
G Em Comin' down in the rain C Washin' outta the sky D Loaded down with the pain G There just ain't no way to fly G You can read him as clear C As the wall where he once wrote his name D It was right next to hers G But it'll only come down in the rain G You can read him as clear C As the wall where he once wrote his name D It was right next to hers G But it'll only come down in the rain
