This is my entry for Steemit Open Mic Week 82, sponsored by @luzcypher (thank you!) and @pfunk (thank you!)
I'm trying to look at the camera more when I record so try not to be creeped out. You will be happy to know that I deleted my first attempt at this entry because my cat was licking his butt in the background. You're welcome. He does make an appearance in this one, but just doing other normal cat things not involving any butts.
C Am
The rain, it talks to me
F
when no one else
C
can tolerate
Am G
my words that don't make sense
C
to anyone
Am
except for me
F G
and my old friend
c
the rain (Am, F, G)
C Am
And some days, it hurts so bad
F
when everything
C
is floating down
Am G
around me like some dream
C
and you are like
Am
a paper cloud
F G
that melts aaway
C
like rain
And when I'm lost
like keys in stones
I stand beneath an old tin roof
and listen to the sound
of the rain
It sounds like cracker jacks
Oh, how I love
the rain.
