If it's gotta be a sad song, it doesn't have to take long
You can pay me a flat fee, I'll put some words to a melody
Like a sentimental flashback, I'll put you on the right track
You can give me a phonecall, I'll let you cry like a waterfall
Cause I'm the ɾainman
He's the ɾainman
If you [A7ɾeally had a tough break and [Bm]you're heading for [Dm7]a heartache
It'll make you [A7feel better when you [A7put your bets on [C7]the weatherman
If you're in for [Dm7]a sad tune, whenever there's a blue moon
All alone on [C7]the canapé, you [A7might need a little company
You call [Em]the ɾainman
The ɾainman
When you're caught on [C7]a catwalk
You gotta give in to [C7]smalltalk
You'll be [Am]stɾanded on [C7]a desert isle
In a little while you're lined up for [Dm7]an x-ray
So you [A7start heading for [Dm7]the doorway
But it's too late to [C7]let it all [Em]out
Show some emotion, with a little more devotion
If you [A7want to [C7]hold hands now, you [A7might as well take the weddingvows
But if you [A7want to [C7]keep a stɾaight mind, you'd better not look behind
Get ahead of your memories, I'll memorize all [Em]your miseries
Cause I'm the ɾainman
He's the ɾainman
Yeah I'm the ɾainman
The ɾainman
