  Intro:      C      G      Am      F      x 2     


 Verse:
C      G                        Am      F
 The drought was the very worst
C           G                 Am            F
 When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
C         G                             Am       F
 It was months, and months of back and forth
C                 G               Am                         F
 You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore


 Pre-Chorus:
  G                  F                      G                     F
 Hung my head, as I lost the war, and sky turned to black like a perfect storm


 Chorus:
  C          G      Am 
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F                      C      
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean


 Verse:
C           G                  Am      F
 There was nothing left to do
C          G                     Am                F
 When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room
C       G                        Am      F
 So I punched a hole in the roof
C            G          Am            F
 I let the flood carry away all my pictures of you


 Pre-Chorus:
      G                F                   G               F
 The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing


 Chorus:
  C          G      Am 
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F                      C      
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
 G                      Am      F
 I think I am finally clean
C     G                      Am      F
 Said I think I am finally clean


 Bridge:
  C
 10 months sober, I must admit
  F
 Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
  C
 10 months older I won't give in
  F
 Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it
C       G                       Am      F
 The drought was the very worst
C           G                 Am            F
 When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst


 Chorus:
  C          G      Am 
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F                         
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
  C          G      Am 
 Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
   F                            C
 That's when I could finally breathe
         G        Am                        F                      C      
 And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
G          Am      F
 Finally clean
                     C      G      Am    
 Think I'm finally clean
F                     C
 Think I'm finally clean
