Intro  ||:  G9   G   F7   :||


      G6          G          GM7            G6
Well, hello there, good old friend of mine,

            G6       G     G6     G           GM7       G6
You've been reaching for yourself for such a long time;

          CM7/6     CM7         F7
There's so much to say, no need to explain,

         G  G/F#      Em      Em6     D9        
Just an open door for you to come in from the rain.


       G6    G               GM7            G6
It's a long walk when you're all alone,

     G6           G       G6     G           GM7           G6
And someone like you will always choose the long way home.

           CM7/6    CM7             F7
There's no right or wrong, I'm not here to blame,

        G     G/F#     Em     Em6       D9 
I just want to be the one to keep you from the rain,

CM7        G
From the rain.


Bridge:

        CM7               F7
And it looks like sunny skies, 

CM7                         F7
Now that I know you're all right.

Bm7              E7         Am7             D7
Time has left us older, but wiser -- I know I am.


Instrumental interlude: 2 lines

      CM7/6    CM7         F7
And I think of us like an old cliché,

        G       G/F#     Em     Em6       D9 
But it doesn't matter, 'cause I love you anyway - 

CM7               G
Come in from the rain.


Repeat Bridge:


Instrumental interlude: 1 line

         G6       G      G6          G        GM7         G6
And it's good to know my best friend has come home again;

         CM7/6    CM7         D9
'Cause I think of us like and old cliché,

         G      G/F#     Em     Em6      D9 
But it doesn't matter, 'cause I love you anyway - 

F7                G    F7                   G      F7
Come in from the rain,    come in from the rain,

                  G
come in from the rain.
