The Rain Keeps Falling Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I t[C]ried to be brave but I hid in the dark
I sat [F]in that cave and I prayed
for a spark
To light up all the [G]pain
That remained in my heart
[F]And the rain kept falling

[Verse 2]
[C]Down on the roof of the church
where I cried
[F]I could hear all the laughter
And love and I tried
To get up and [G]get out but a part
of me died
And the rain [F]kept falling
[C]down[Bb]

[Verse 3]
[C]Well I'm scared if I open
myself to be known
I'll be [F]seen and despised and
Be left all alone
So I'm stuck in this
[G]tomb and
You won't move the stone
And [F]the rain [C]keeps falling

[Verse 4]
[C]Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky
But I'm [F]dying in North Carolina and I
Can't [G]be lieve there's
and end to
This season of night
And the [F]rain keeps falling
[C]down falling [Bb]down
Fall[F]ing down

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][Bb][F]

[Verse 5]
There's a [C]woman at home and
She's praying for a light
[F]My children are there and they
Love me in spite
Of [G]the shadow I know
that they see in my eyes
And the [F]rain keeps falling

[Verse 6]
I'm [C]so tired of this game,
of these songs
Of the rote
[F]I'm already ashamed of
the line I just wrote
But it's [G]true and it feels like
I can[C]'t sing a note
And the [F]rain keeps falling
[C]down falling [Bb]down
Fall[F]ing down

[Verse 7]
[C]Peace, be [F]still [G]pea[F]ce,[C]
be still
[F][G]

[Verse 8]
[F][G][F]
[G]My [C]daughter and I put
the seeds in the dirt
[F]And every day now we've
Been watching the earth
For a [G]sign [C]that this dea[G]th wil[C]l
Give way to a birth
And the [F]rain [G]keep[F] s fa[G]llin[F]g[G]

[Verse 9]
[C]Down on the soil where
the sorrow is laid
And the [F]secret of life is
igniting the grave
And I'm [G]dying to live but
I'm learning to wait
and the [F]rain [G]is [F]falling
[C]

[Verse 10]
Peace, be [F]still [C]pea[F]ce,[C]
be still
[F][C][F]

[Verse 11]
[C]Peace i just want to be new again
Be still
[F]I just want to be closer
to You [C]again peace
Lord, I can't find the song be still
[F]I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong
I need [C]peace peace
Help me be brave tonight be [F]still
Jesus, please help me out
Of this cave tonight [C]peace
I've been calling and calling be [F]still
This rain just keeps falling [C]peace
I've been calling and calling be still
[F]But this rain just keeps
falling and falling
[G]Peace [C]is it You
Be [F]still is it You
[C]Peace is it true
Be [F]still is it You
[C]Peace, [F]pea[C]ce
