Verse:
 
C      G                   Am      F
 The drought was the very worst
C           G                      Am               F
 When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
C         G                             Am       F
 It was months and months of back and forth
C                 G               Am                         F
 You're still all over me like a wine-stained suit I can't wear anymore
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
 
  G                  F                 G                          F
 Hung my head, as I lost the war, and sky turned to black like a perfect storm
 
 
Chorus:
 
  C          G      Am
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F                      C
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
 
C   G/B  C  G/B  C  G/B  F
 
 
Verse:
 
C           G              Am      F
 There was nothing left to do
C          G                     Am      F
 When the butterflies turned to dust covering my room
C       G                    Am      F
 So I punched a hole in the roof
C         G                   Am            F
 Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
 
 
 Pre-Chorus:
 
      G                F                   G               F
 The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but nobody heard a thing
 
 
 Chorus:
 
  C          G      Am
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
 
 
 Bridge:
 
  Am       G/B       Am    F   Am F
 10 months sober, I must admit 
  Am                 G/B                  Am    F       Am F
 Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
  Am       G/B       C
 10 months older I won't give in
               F
 Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it
 
 Now I'm never gonna risk it
 
 
Chorus:
 
  C          G      Am
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
 
  C        G      Am
 It came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you
C   G
    Ah..
Am                  F
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace,
C   G
      Ah..
Am                  F
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace,
C   G
Ah..      Ah..
Am                        F
Gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you,
C   G
      Ah..
Am                  F
 
C G Am F
