D 
i'm a bundle of fear 
G 
i'm a pile of doubts 
      D 
but i hope through the fear 
              G 
and i pray it all works out 
           A 
cause it always does 
        G         A 
when it rains sometimes it floods 
  
REPEAT INTRO (half) 
  
      D 
i'm a shot in the dark 
G 
i'm a fist in the gut 
        D 
i might do something crazy 
           G 
get myself out of a rut 
                A 
when push comes down to shove 
        G         A               D 
when it rains sometimes it floods   
 
CHORUS 
                  A 
let the dam break down 
                   G 
let the water wash over me 
               A 
i dont care if i drown 
                Bm 
if thats how it has to be 
G      A           D 
let the water wash over me 
 
  
REPEAT INTRO 
  
       D 
I been out on the edge 
           G 
right back to the middle 
               D 
and all points in between 
       G 
my own personal riddle 
            A 
the answers slowly come 
        G         A 
when it rains sometimes it floods 
 
  
REPEAT INTRO (half) 
  
   D 
it all gets lost 
              G 
no matter how hard you try 
           D 
everything comes with a cost 
              G 
there aint no way to slide 
                A 
the illusion is clear as mud 
        G          A             D 
when it rains sometimes it floods   
REPEAT CHORUS 2X 
  
REPEAT INTRO (through all the "let the water take me higher's", to the end)
