Intro:  ||:   E      Em6    :||


 E       G                      CM7         C6
Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams;

   F#m      B7                 E        Em6       
Funny, but here's that rainy day.

   Am7        D9            GM7      G6
Here's that rainy day they told me about

      F#m7 
And I laughed at the thought that

B7                E       Em6
It could end this way.



   E           G                CM7       C6
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside

 F#m      B7                 E        E7 
After it brought my love so near?

  AM7      B7             G#m        F#7
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day--

 F#m          B7          E6
Funny, that rainy day is here.


Coda:
 AM7       B7             G#m        F#7
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day--
 F#m         B7           E     Em6    F#m     Fm7     E
Funny, that rainy day is here.
