[Verse 1]
D                Bm            G             D
When it rains it pours but you didn't even notice
         D          Bm                 G                            Asus4   A
It ain't rainin' anymore, it's hard to breathe when all you know is
    Bm             F#7             D       A     E
The struggle of staying above, the rising water line
 
[Chorus]
          D              Bm          G                       D    A
Well, the sky is finally opened, the rain and wind stopped blowin'
           Bm               D               A   Asus4 A
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
         D               Bm                  G                  D       A
You hold tight to your umbrella, but darlin' I'm just tryin' to tell ya
             Bm            D               A         D
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
 
[Verse 2]
             D          Bm            G                D
If you could see what I see, you'd be blinded by the colours
        D                  Bm            G                 Asus4 A
Yellow, red and orange and green, and at least a million others
       Bm               F#7               D       A     E
So tie up the bow, take off your coat and take a look around
 
[Chorus]
          D              Bm          G                       D    A
'Cause, the sky is finally opened, the rain and wind stopped blowin'
           Bm               D               A   Asus4 A
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
         D               Bm                  G                  D       A
You hold tight to your umbrella, but darlin' I'm just tryin' to tell ya
             Bm            D               A         D    A
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

Bm G Asus4 A
 
[Bridge]
       Bm               F#7              D      A     G
So tie up the bow, take off your coat and take a look around
     Bm         G
Everything is alright now
 
[Chorus]
          D              Bm          G                       D    A
'Cause, the sky is finally opened, the rain and wind stopped blowin'
           Bm               D               A   Asus4 A
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
    D                Bm             G                    D       A
Let go of your umbrella, but darlin' I'm just tryin' to tell ya
             Bm            D               A         D    A
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
              Bm            D               A         D
Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
 
Bm G A
 
[Ending]
      D        A       G  D
It'll all be alright...

Played these chords out on piano, and the C#m6 doesn't sound right. Do you have a preferred fingering?
