Lyrics

I think per haps it looks like (Gmaj7)rain.

The sky gets blu er by the (E)hour.

The wa ter falls in lit tle (Bbmaj7)drops.

That’s why it’s called a sun (D5)show’r.

Ah, and now it (G)stops.

If I say (A)rain, then you say (G)sun.

If I say (G)yes, then (D)you say (G)no.

It seems be (A)fore we start, we’re (G)done.

We e ven (Dm7)ar gue at hel (C)lo.

If I say, (G)“Share with me this (Am7)small (D)um (G)brel la…” I say, “Who (G)cares if I get (A7sus4)wet?”

We are as (D7)dif f’rent as the (G)morn ing (D)and the (Em7)night.

No, we’re as (D)dif f’rent as the (Dm7)win ter (G7)and the (C)spring.

We al ways (G)seem to fight.

We dis a (G)gree on ev ’ry (F)thing.

And (D7sus4)yet,

you (D)make me (Em)smile, you (Bm)make me (C)laugh, you (G)make me (Am)care.

(D)How can I ex (G)plain?

In (D)side my (Em)heart I (D)feel a (C)pain when (G)you’re not (F)there.

Though we are (Bm7)not at all a (C)like, you (Bm7)make me feel a (C)live.

If (Am7)we had (Gmaj7)that in (C)com mon, that (Am7)one small (Gmaj7)thing in (C)com mon, love could be (Am7)like a (Gmaj7)small um (C)brel la (C)in the (G)rain.

When (G)peo ple dis cov er (Cm6)pas sion, they’ve (G)come up on some thing (Cm6)rare.

This (Em7)fer vor thay have in (A7)com mon will (Dm7)shel ter them an y (G7)where.

Though the (B7sus4)rest (B7)may be (Em)rough

(A9)with such (C)pas sion to share, I (B7)think they have (Em7)more than e nough, e nough to (A7sus4)make a (A)mar riage, if we (Gsus4)dare.

(F)there.

Though we are (Bm7)not at all a (C)like, you (Bm7)make me feel a (C)live.

Yes, (Am7)we have (Gmaj7)that in (C)com mon, that (Am7)one small (Gmaj7)thing in (C)com mon.

Our love is (Am7)like a (Gmaj7)small um (C)brel la (C)in the (G)rain.
