Song

The Beta Band
Dry the Rain
(Some of you will remember this tune from the movie High Fidelity, when John Cusack
inconspicuously puts this song on in the record story and everyone stops to listen and
that it's good. In the book, it wasn't a Beta Band tune, but hey, good times.)
First two verses use:
A = 002220
Am = x02210

Move on to the bar chords for the chorus:

Verse 1

This is the definition of my life
Lying in bed in the sunlight
Choking on the vitamin tablet
The doctor gave in the hope of saving me
In the hope of saving me

Chorus

Walked in the corner of the room
A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain, the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain now

Verse 2

Dusty brown boots in the corner
By the ironing board
Spray on dust is the greatest thing
Sure is the greatest thing
Since the last, since the last

Chorus

Walked in the corner of the room
A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain, the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain now
      
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain, the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain now

If there's something inside that you wanna say
Say it out loud, it'll be okay

I need love, yeah
