[Verse 1]
G
Rainy day people
                              Am
Always seem to know when it's time to call
C                      D
Rainy day people don't talk
                              G
They just listen till they've heard it all
C
Rainy day lovers
      D                     C                   G
Don't lie when they tell 'ya they bin down like you
C
Rainy day people
D                       C       G
Don't mind if you cry a tear or two

[Verse 2]
G
If 'ya get lonely
                            Am
All you really need is that rainy day love
C
Rainy day people
    D                                 G
All know there's no sorrow they can't rise above
C
Rainy day lovers
      D
Don't love any others
C                  G
 That would not be kind
C
Rainy day people
    D                      C       G
All know how it hangs on a piece of mind

[Verse 4]
G
Rainy day people
                                Am
Always seem to know when you're feeling blue
C
High stepping strutters
    D                             C        G
Who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
C
Take it or leave it
   D
Or try to believe it
C                        G
 If you've been down too long
C                      D
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside
          C       G
They just pass it on

C                      D
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside

They just pass it on
