[Chorus]
Bm
I can’t make my mood match the weather
Em
I can’t make the weather do what I want
F# A
so I’ve resigned myself to pry that big old sun out of the sky
Em A Bm
and I will live my days in darkness 'til I die
[Verse]
I tried to be good, I was a failure
Em
so I took to taking all the good men down
F# A
it wasn’t hard to do, I just huffed and puffed and blew
Em A Bm
until all the two-shoes scattered underground
A
you could be right
Em Bm
they might come for me at night
D F#
in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door
Bm A
for all my spite
Em Bm
I might never win the fight
D F# Bm
but I will rage against the light forever more
I drank the blood of angels from a bottle
Em
just to see if I could call the lightning down
F# A
it hasn’t struck me yet and I would wage my soul to bet
Em A Bm
that there ain’t no one throwing lightning anyhow
Too many tries at tempting fate to call it over
Em
and you get to thinking fate’s got different plans
F# A
like maybe i’m not born to die but to bring darkness to the sky
Em A Bm
and pull that goddamn sun down anyway I can
A
you could be right
Em Bm
they might come for me at night
D F#
in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door
Bm A
for all my spite
Em Bm
I might never win the fight
D F# Bm
but I will rage against the light forever more!

[Verse]
G A
and oh the hopelessly tender hearted
D G
tend to sing the loudest of love
Em F# BM F#7
but my sweet temptations turn their songs into a lie
G A
I fold the grass over all they’ve started
D G
to never see the light of the sun
Em F# Bm
as they dwell in darkness so shall I
don’t try to come around here, spreading sentiments of cheer
Em
you told your last white lie, everything is not alright
F# A
you hope, you pray, you love the light of day
Em A Bm
but there’s no one up there listening tonight
A
you could be right
Em Bm
they might come for me at night
D F#
in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door
Bm A
for all my spite
Em Bm
I might never win the fight
D F# Bm
but I will rage against the light forever more
[Chorus]
I can’t make my mood match the weather
Em
I can’t make the weather do what I want
F# A
so I’ve resigned myself to pry that big old sun out of the sky
Em A Bm
and I will live my days in darkness 'til I die
