Then... [chorus]
Bmaj7 G#m7 C#m7 F#7sus
So let your “sweet rain” fall on me, for I am dying
We’re desert people and we’re in pain but we’re still trying
We’ve been down for so long--We are dry and we are thirsty
Bmaj7 G#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Em7
So you see, the Rain we must have is the tears you shed long ago
A/E E6 B/E
Farther along we’ll find our way
D Em7 C Em7
Through all of the darkness today
D A B7sus B7
The Sun of Reality has dawned upon eternity
Now... [chorus]
