Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][D][Em]
[A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 1]
You ran [D]up against the rain
Everyday of your short life
[G]Suffered for your muse [Em]without
complain[D]ing[A]
Never [D]heard you swear life [A]isn't fair
[D]But it doesn't make it right
You [Em]left the world knowing all
too well [A]what pain is.

[Verse 2]
You took it [G]on yourself
[A]to pave the road [D]to hell
Paid [G]your dues and sang [A]the blues
Lord, you [D]knew them all too well
Every [G]word upon [A]the page
You [F#]let them sail [G]away
The [Em]wind would blow,
and then you'd go
[Asus4]Up against the rain.[D]
[A][D][G]

[Verse 3]
You [D]listen to the songs
And then you wrote [G]your own
Somewhere along the way
You passed [D]the muse [A]along
I feel your [D]presence in this room
Beneath the wailing [G]moon
It's [Em]good to know that dying
couldn't [Asus4]tame you[A]
You took it [G]on yourself to pave

[Verse 4]
[A]
the road [D]to hell
Paid [G]your dues and sang [A]the blues
Lord, [D]you knew them all too well
Every [G]word upon [A]the page
You [F#]let them sail [G]away
The [Em]wind would blow,
and then you'd go
[Asus4]Up against t[A]he rain.
[D][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Asus4][A]
Last [D]night the weather turned
This [G]morning we [D]had [G]snow
Today they'll lay you [D]in
[A]the ground
[D]Someday we'll all know
Where it [G]is we go
[D]My tea[Em]rs will say goodbye
While the [A]rain is coming down

[Verse 6]
You took it [G]on yourself
[A]to pave the road [D]to hell
Paid [G]your dues and sang [A]the blues
Lord, you knew [D]them all too well
Every [G]word upon [A]the page
You [F#]let them sail [G]away
The [Em]wind would blow,
[Asus4]and then [D]you[Em]'d go[Asus4]
[A]Up against the [D]rain.
[G]
