(verse 1)
Gsus5                           Caug 
Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself,
  A/C                                    E/C
I fell like I'm just sleep walkin through out life,
Gsus5                       Caug
It's like I'm swimmin in an ocean of emotion,
     A/C                            E/C
But still somehow slowly goin numb inside,



(pre-cho)
F                       G
I don't like who I'm becommin,
                       Bb
I know I've gotta to do somethin,
                            Ab  G
before my life passes right by-eye



(chorus)
           C
I want to Cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
  Bb
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin,
 F
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin,
 Bb
Fight with the devil and go down swingin,
 C
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
 Bb
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
 F                                     Ab  Bb
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
          C
I wanna live




(verse 2)
Gsus5                           Caug
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart,
  A/C                    E/C
I hardly do anything at all,
Gsus5                           Caug
I've spent my whole life building up this Ivory tower,
         A/C                              E/C
Now that I'm in it I keep wishin it would fall,



(pre-cho)
F                         G
So I can feel the ground beneath me,
                      Bb
Really taste this air I'm breathin,
                   Ab  G
And know that I'm ali--ive,




(chorus)
           C
I want to Cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
  Bb
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin,
 F
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin,
 Bb
Fight with the devil and go down swingin,
 C
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
 Bb
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
 F                                     Ab  Bb
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
          Ab - Bb
I wanna live
          Ab - Bb - C
I wanna live




(verse 3)
Gsus5                           Caug
Somethin deep inside keeps sayin life is like a vapor,
     A/C                           E/C
It's gone in just a twinklin of an eye,




(chorus)
           C
I want to Cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
  Bb
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin,
 F
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin,
 Bb
Fight with the devil and go down swingin,
 C
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
 Bb
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
 F                                     Ab  Bb
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
        Ab                      G
I wanna take every breath I can get
          C - Bb - F - Bb
I wanna live



Outro - C - Bb - F - Bb
