F                                Dm
        I never meant to cause you any sorrow
C                                   Bb
 I never meant to cause you any pain
F                                           Dm
        I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
C
I only wanted to see you
                       F
Laughing in the purple rain
                        Bb
Purple rain, purple rain

Chorus

Purple rain, purple rain
F  Dm                        C
                 Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
                      F
Bathing in the purple rain
                                    F
I never wanted to be your weekend lover

Verse

Dm C                                       Bb
              I only wanted to be some kind of friend
F
        Baby, I could never steal you from another
Dm C                                        F
          It's such a shame our friendship had to end
                        Bb
Purple rain, purple rain

Chorus

                        F
Purple rain, purple rain
Dm                        C
        Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
                      F
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
                 F
I know times are changing

Verse

Dm C
              It's time we all reach out
                  Bb
For something new,      that means you too
F
        You say you want a leader
Dm
        But you can't seem to make up your mind
                         C
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
F                         Bb
  Purple rain, purple rain

Chorus

                        F
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
Dm
C'mon, raise your hand
                        C
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
                  F
In the purple rain
