These days with the world getting colder
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned
Tonight were gonna order in
Drinking wine and watching CNN
It's dark I know but then again
It's the brightest thing I got
Cause I'm covered in rain
No I'm covered in rain
Fire woods to fire places
Summer stolen, fallen places
People watching, all the people watching, everybody watching me
Standing by the missing signs at the CVS by the checkout line
She puts her quiet hands in mine
Cause she's the brightest thing I got
When you're covered in rain
Cause I'm covered in rain
Cause I'm covered in rain
No I'm covered in rain
It's alright
If you dont want to go on
It's alright
If you dont want to be alone
It's alright
If you dont want to go home
I understand
I understand
I understand
You and me and everyone, covered in rain

He might be using this scale also but either one will work for ya!
These days, with the world getting colder,
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned.
Tonight we're gonna order in,
Drinking wine and watchin' CNN.
It's dark I know, but then again
It's the brightest thing I got
'Cause I'm covered in rain
No, I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
Fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stole what fall replaces
We're people watching, all the people watching, everybody watching me
Standing by the missing signs at the CVS by the checkout line
She puts her quiet hands in mine
'Cause she's the brightest thing I got
When I'm covered in rain
'Cause I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
'Cause I'm covered in rain

It's alright
If you don't want to, go on
It's alright
If you don't want to, be alone
Oh It's alright
If you don't want to, want to, want to, go home
I understand, I understand, I understand,
You and me and everyone
I'm covered in rain
No, I'm covered in rain
No, I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
I'm covered in, covered in, covered in rain

[Lyrics]
In these days with the world getting colder
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned.
Tonight we're gonna order in
Drinking wine and watching CNN
It's dark I know, but then again
It's the brightest thing I've got.
When I'm covered in the rain, rain
When I'm covered in the rain, rain, rain, rain
From fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stole what fall replaces
And there were people watching all the people
People watching us right back now.
Standing by the missing signs
At the CVS by the checkout line
She puts her crying hands in mine
Cause she's the brightest thing I've got.
When I'm covered in the rain, rain
When I'm covered in the rain, rain, rain, rain
Oh I'm covered in the rain
Oh I'm covered in the rain
Oh I'm covered in the rain
Oh no no oh no no no
And come December Lydia left
She mentions something bout it being for the best
And I can't say I disagree, it's killing me
And now I'm standing facing West
Tracing my fingers around her silhouette
I haven't gotten used to yet
But it's the brightest thing I got.
When I'm covered in the rain, yeah rain
When I'm covered in the rain, rain, rain, rain

These days, with the world getting colder,
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned.
Tonight we're gonna order in,
Drinking wine and watchin' CNN.
It's dark I know, but then again
It's the brightest thing I got
'Cause I'm covered in rain
No, I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
Fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stole what fall replaces
We're people watching, all the people watching, everybody watching me
Standing by the missing signs at the CVS by the checkout line
She puts her quiet hands in mine
'Cause she's the brightest thing I got
When I'm covered in rain
'Cause I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
'Cause I'm covered in rain
No I'm covered in rain
It's alright
If you don't want to, go on
It's alright
If you don't want to, be alone
Oh It's alright
If you don't want to, want to, want to, go home
I understand, I understand, I understand,
You and me and everyone
I'm covered in rain
No, I'm covered in rain
No, I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
I'm covered in, covered in, covered in rain
