This song plays best in D Modal Tuning, also known as Celtic Tuning or DADGAD, as
some call it. This is the way I play it and it has the best sound for me.

Intro: Dsus4, D5
Verse 1
Your [D5]words to me just a whisper
Your [Dsus4]face is so unclear
I [D5]try to pay attention
Your [Dsus4]words just disappear
Chorus
[F#sus4] 'Cause it's always raining in my he[Dsus4]ad
[F#sus4] Forget all the things I should have sa[Dsus4]id
Bridge: D5, Dsus4
Verse 2
So I [D5]speak to you in riddles
'Cause my [Dsus4]words get in my way.
I [D5]smoke the whole thing to my head
And [Dsus4]feel it wash away
'Cause I [D5]can't take anymore of this,
I [Dsus4]wanna come apart,
Or [D5]dig myself a little hole
Ins[Dsus4]ide your precious heart
Chorus
[F#sus4] 'Cause it's always raining in my hea[Dsus4]d
[F#sus4] Forget all the things I should have sa[Dsus4]id
Verse 3
[D5]I am nothing more than
A [Dsus4]little boy inside
That [D5]cries out for attention,
Yet I [Dsus4]always try to hide
'Cause I [D5]talk to you like children,
Though I [Dsus4]don't know how I feel
But I [D5]know I'll do the right thing
If the [Dsus4]right thing is revealed.
Chorus
[F#sus4] 'Cause it's always raining in my he[Dsus4]ad
[F#sus4] Forget all the things I should have sa[Dsus4]id
Enjoy. And if there any ideas for improvement, I'm open for suggestions. Contact
