After the rains have gone, something in - side me, I know, is dying for you,
D            (Dsus2)   Em       (Emsus2)      G       A7sus4  A7
    The sleet and the snow, just drift me, I know, a - way,
 Em                           G                       Bm             (Bm/F#)     D 
After the rains have gone, something inside me cries,    "What's be - hind that door?"

  (Dsus2)       Em       (Emsus2)      G           A7sus4  A7
We drifted a - part, it's broken our hearts, sur - viving,
