Verse 1:

	                                  
	Go blame the rain for your cloudburst of teardrops
	                                        
	Blame the wind, say how lonely and cold it can be
	                
	   You asked to be free
	                  
	Don't blame it on me

Verse 2:

	Go blame the night for the darkness descending
	Blame the wind, say it laughs at you now that you're free
	That's how you want it to be
	Don't blame it on me

Chorus:

	                
	Now your life is empty
	/              
	And only tears remain
	                         
	Your high hopes turned to heartaches
	                         
	Your freedom turned to chains

[repeat verse 1]

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

	Go blame rain and the wind and the darkness
	Blame the world for the way things have turned out to be
	Blame whatever you please
	     
	But don't...
	                
	Don't blame it on me

Coda [repeat to fade]:

	              
	Don't blame it on me
