[F#m] [B]
[E] In the holding tank [A] I built for myself, [F#m] it's feeding [B] time, [E] and I start to [A] feel afraid,
cause [F#m] I'm the last one left [B] in line.
[F#m] The endless strain [E] of summer storms [D] that led me to [A] today,
[E] began one afternoon with you,
[A] long ago [B] and [E] far away.
[C#m] And someone [A] leads [E] the beast in on his [A] chain, [E] but I know you're thinking of me, cause it's
[B] just about [A] to rain.
[F#m]
[E] So I won't be afraid [A] of anything [B] ever [E] again.

[E] In the cell that holds [A] my body back,
[F#m] [B] the door swings wide, [E] and I feel like someone's [A] lost
child [F#m] as the guards [B] lead me outside.
And if the clouds [E] are gathering, [D] it's [G#] just to point [A] the way, to
[E] an afternoon I spent
with you, [A] when [B] it rained [E] all day.
[C#m] And someone [A] leads [E] the beast in [A] on his chain, but [E] I know you're thinking of me, cause [B] it's
just about [A] to rain.

[A] [E] So I won't be afraid [A] of anything [B]
[E] ever again.
