Begging For Rain

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
               D   G  E  D    G  E
Two, three
 
 
[Verse 1]
    D
The more you wait, the more you break
           Dmaj7         D     Gmaj7   D
The longer that it takes to undo
        Dmaj7                  D
All the knots that you've been tying
                                       Gmaj7
On cherry stems and black barbed wire, too
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Em
You work all day to find religion
    F#m                     D
And end up standing in your kitchen
Gmaj7
Wondering 'bout the way it's always been
      Em
I'm a firefighter and I can't stop it
F#m                             D
They fan the flames higher than rockets
    G
And leave you standing on an open plane
 
 
[Chorus]
                D
Begging for rain
 Gmaj7            D   G
Oh, begging for rain
 
 
[Verse 2]
  D
I feel it all and I can't stop it
                                      G
Wish that I could turn my faucet loose
D
On all my friends who keep on calling
                                           G
Like nothing's wrong and asking me "what's new?"
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Em
Now, I do my best to not be bitter
F#m
Give my rage a babysitter
     Gmaj7
Stop waiting for the adults to come home
       Em
It's a firework and you can't stop it
    F#m
I'm cutting holes in all the pockets
   G
Of everyone that's calling me insane
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D
Oh, waiting for rain
 G               D
Oh, begging for rain
 G              D  A  G  Em
Oh, begging for rain
 
 
[Bridge]
       D  A  G  Em  D  A  G  Em
I keep waitin'
       D  A  G  Em  D
I keep waitin'
 
 
[Outro]
D
Ooh, ooh
D
Ooh, ooh
D
Ooh, ooh
D
Ooh
