A G#m7 C#m
[Verse 1]
C#m7 F#m7
Swipe the last drop of rain from the windshield, The clouds start to part over head
C#m7 F#m7
My eyes ache after so long in darkness, After years in my spartan bed
A G#m7 C#m
Curse the sun, I can't outrun the ghosts of my dead
C#m7 F#m7
Growing restless in my old chevy/ Chew my tongue like a stick of gum
C#m7 F#m7
Oh how I'm dreading the dredging of past days, too many years spent on the run
A G#m7 C#m
Never stop, never slow, run from the places where I bled
[Chorus]
E D
I follow this trail of rainbows to the end of the road
C#m F#m7 A G#m7
Until I arrive at last at the last place that I would call my home
[Solo]

A G#m7 C#m
[Verse 2]
C#m7 F#m7
If absence makes the heart grow fonder then I ain't been gone long enough
C#m7 F#m7
I Look around at the desolate wasteland, a shattered diamond in the rough
A G#m7 C#m
No delay/just hell to pay/ for the songs I left unsung
[Chorus]
E D
And these rainbows won’t be keeping me down
C#m F#m7 A G#m7
I can promise you now that those rabid dogs won’t be stickin’ around
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
C#m7 F#m7
Pay attention to the words of wisdom Sturm and Drang for the common man
C#m7 F#m7
Forget what Connie's been telling the good guys The reason you got feet is to stand
A G#m7 C#m
Never Stop, straight ahead, never listen to what the book says
[Chorus]
E D
So I follow the trail of rainbows to the end of the road
C#m F#m7 A G#m7
there aint' no pot of gold but I might get what I'm owed
E D
I can't dry the thunderclouds, but maybe I can stop the rain
C#m F#m7 A G#m7
just keep my head above the water, these rainbows can't bring no pain
[Outro]
C#m7 F#m7
Oh these
A G#m7 C#m
Rainbows
