Verse 1:
(Fingerpicking)
G            Em
One time, I tried to sing
G            Em
About spring and a storm
      G Em
But you know
      G Em
How it goes
C                          Cm Cm*
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"
     G Em G Em
All along
     C       Cm    Cm*
Won't you please stop complaining?
         G Em G Em
I'm playing a song

Chorus 1:
(Strumming)
      G           C Cm
But all the rain drops in the same
    G           C Cm
Falling to from where they came
    G        C    Cm       G
And in time, they all evaporate back to the sky

(Down, Down, Up-Slap)
(Fingerpick, starting on second note of the pattern for the first G)
G x2 Em

Verse 2:
(Strumming)
 G              Em
I wish you could've heard the music
     G           Em
When the clouds growled overhead
 G          Em
I finally felt enthusiastic
 G       A
I finally felt alive
C                          Cm Cm*
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah"
      G Em G Em
So you said
     C       Cm   Cm*
"Would it please you to listen
          G Em G Em
To thunder instead?"

Chorus 2:
(Aggressive strumming)
     G           C Cm
Man, the rain came down that day
       G       C Cm
And it drained my dreams away
    G      C    Cm     G C Cm
And I almost never tried to try anymore

(Fingerpicking)
    G
Mr. Moon?

Em
Yeah?

         G  Em
Tell us about the sky!

  G        Em         G  Em
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
   G         Em            G
Many people think that's where you go when you die

Em
Do you?

    G             C Cm
Well I think you return to obscure
    G        C      Cm
Or wherever you were before you were
  G        C    Cm       G C Cm
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain

(Strumming)
     G         C Cm
We have so much left to sing
        G        C Cm
There's a storm for every spring
    G        C   Cm       G C Cm
All you see, and you and me, became from a star

Joe:

You're a star
      G C Cm
Yes you are

You're a star

G     C     D     C
Silent explosive and silent explosive (Yes you are)
  G     C     D     C

Outro:
Gb      Eb     F     Eb
Create until nothing is left to create
    Gb    Eb       F     Eb
And the universe bursts with an overworked sigh
    Gb     Eb    F      Eb
And pretend to, pretend to recrown the creation
  Gb      Eb       F        Eb
And sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry
     Gb    Eb    F   Eb
And then over and over and over again
     Gb    Eb       Ebm
And then over and over and never again
