Made famous by Blind Melon (Shannon Hoon)

E                         D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

  A                         G      E      E7
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain

    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

    A                         G         E     E7
and speak my point of view but it’s not sane, It’s not sane

E              D              E           D 
   I just want    some one to say to me   oh,

E              D                 E     D      
   I’ll always be there when you wake     yeah...

E                       D              E        D
    Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today

E                D                   E        D    
    So stay with me and I’ll have it made

      E                      D   
And I don’t understand why I sleep all day

      A                       G         E     E7 
And I start to complain that there’s no rain

    E                      D 
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it’s a great escape

escape, escape, escape

E                        D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

         A
ya don’t like my point of view

         G        E  
ya think that I’m insane

Its not sane, it’s not sane

E              D             E           D           
   I just want    someone to say to me  oh,

E              D                  E      D
   I’ll always be there when you wake       yeah,

E                      D              E          D
   Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today

E               D                   E      D
   so stay with me and I’ll have it made

LYRICS
The tricks with this mix
Involve staying on course
You know? When visibility is low
Trying to avoid blunt force

To hell with hail
that falls to the ground
We’ll sustain the freezing rain
And, figure a work around

Damn the don’t knows
Full speed in the head

The fix for this mix
Involves getting out from betwixt
From above… snow… ice below

LYRICS
Ain’t got the rainy day blues
’cause I see the rainbow hues
Since I can’t go out anyway
Might as well stay in and play

Ain’t got the rainy day blues
Ain’t got to be paying dues
Why don’t we all while away
We can sway, dance and play

C / C7

A little drop of light
Had the might
To creep and peep
Through the shadows of a cloud
And, shine a drop on me
Like angels singing aloud
Liquid sunshine
Makes ya feel feel fine
A little drop of light
Feels alright
Liquid sunshine
Divine

C / Cm

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

I’ve got a studio
Oh, oh, oh
For you and I,
I, i, i

You can plug right in
And, begin
To play
For the rest of the day

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

bookmark_borderWho Are You?

I am practically nothing
A mere speck
In the universe
So, what the heck
Might as well
Lift a voice
And, start singing
Chorus and verse
About your hell
Rejoice!!!

Please refrain
From the causing
Of pain
When you rain
On friends
May love
Reign over you

Oh, rain is slowed
By friction
The contradiction
Reign is not slowed
By friction
32 feet per second
Per second
No, “Wait a second!”
Love reign
Pouring through
Your roof
Love reign
Pointing out
You’re aloof
Penetrating
Flesh and bone
The truth
Never leaving you
Alone

Though,
I’m glad you asked
“Who the fuck are you?”
Nobody… just do
What I can do
Now,
Asking the question, too —
Q: Who the fuck are you?
A: Liar
Hypocrite
Dire
Underachievement

… meant
To show a speck
A little respect
