Andrew Peterson – The Rain Keeps Falling chords

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]

      CI tried to be brave but I hid in the dark
    FI sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark
          GTo light up all the pain that remained in my heart
          FAnd the rain kept falling

 CDown on the roof of the church where I cried
          FI could hear all the laughter and love and I tried
        GTo get up and get out but a part of me died
          F                    C BbAnd the rain kept falling down


[Verse 2]

            CWell I'm scared if I open myself to be known
           FI'll be seen and despised and be left all alone
         GSo I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone
          FAnd the rain keeps falling
CSomewhere the sun is a light in the sky
           FBut I'm dying in North Carolina and I
          GCan't believe there's and end to this season of night
         F                    CAnd the rain keeps falling down
          BbFalling down
           F C Bb FFalling down


[Verse 3]

            CThere's a woman at home and she's praying for a light
     FMy children are there and they love me in spite
          GOf the shadow I know that they see in my eyes
          FAnd the rain keeps falling

         CI'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the road
         FI'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote
           GBut it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note
         F                   CAnd the rain keeps falling down
          BbFalling down
           FFalling down


[Bridge 1]

C            FPeace, be still
C            FPeace, be still


[Verse 4]

      CMy daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt
      FAnd every day now we've been watching the earth
       GFor a sign that this death will give way to a birth
          FAnd the rain keeps falling

 CDown on the soil where the sorrow is laid
         FAnd the secret of life is igniting the grave
          GAnd I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait
          FAnd the rain is falling


[Bridge 2]

C            FPeace, be still
C            FPeace, be still
CI just want to be new again
FI just want to be closer to You again
CLord, I can't find the song
FI'm so tired and I'm always so wrong
CHelp me be brave tonight
FJesus, please help me out of this cave tonight
CI've been calling and calling
FThis rain just keeps falling
CI've been calling and calling
FBut this rain just keeps falling and falling
CIs it You?
FIs it You?
CIs it true?
FIs it You?
(Peace, peace)
