Common As The Rain

	  		Intro D G A G A 

Verse 1:
D                          D/F# 
Night before she's leaving, 
G                  D 
there's suddenly a change 
    Bm          F#m 
She slowly sits beside me and 
    Em7             A 
she softly calls my name 
D                          D/F# 
And gives me an address 
        G                 Em 
and she says, "Come visit soon" 
G                 F#m 
And yesterday she wouldn't notice 
Em7                A 
that I was in the room 

Verse 2:
D                         D/F# 
I guess she stayed awake 'cause it's so 
G               D 
hard for her to say 
G                     F#m 
We both had built our hopes up, 
Em7                               A 
 but the love just slipped away 
D                     D/F# 
She's worried I might try to burden 
G                D 
her with all the blame 
                G  D 
For breaking up my heart as if she'd 
G                   A 
planned it from the start 
     G                 D               Em7  A7 
Just 'cause that's the way some people do 

A       G      Em7                     A 
Oh, but I have been on her side of it too 
            D     D/F# F#m7 
So I said, "Don't feel ashamed, 
           Em7            A 
don't feel guilty for the pain 
G                   F#m7 
Sometimes you build your hopes 
            Em7            A 
up and they fall back down again" 
    D       D/F#     Bm 
The time we had was magic 
        Em              G 
and the love was not in vain 
    G                 A              D 
And falling down's as common as the rain
 

Bridge:
D                      D/F#       G 
And something about me leaves you cold 
                   Em 
But something even you don't know 
Bm                       F#m 
And don't think that it's wrong to go, 
           Em7          A 
'cause of what we had before 
D                        D/F# 
Just leave me with those magic times, 
G 
I'd rather keep you on my mind 
     Bm             F#m7 
Then see you try to fake the feelings, 
Em7              A 
trying not to be unkind 

       D          F#m7 
Oh now don't feel ashamed, 
           Em7 
don't feel guilty for the pain 
G                   F#m7 
Sometimes you build your hopes 
            Em7            A 
up and they fall back down again" 
    D       D/F#     Bm 
The time we had was magic 
        Em              G 
and the love was not in vain 
    G                 A              D 
And falling down's as common as the rain 


Outro 
G 
The only thing for certain is 
    Em      F#m        G 
that nothing stays the same 
G                     Em            D 
And falling down's as common as the rain 
D      Em    A   D G D 
as the rain
