Notes:

All C chords in this song are played in an alternate pattern than the norm—a typical Cm, but with the pointer finger on the C string's 4th fret:

A|--x---|
E|--x---|
C|--xx--|
G|------|

Fingerpicking 
A|----x-----x-
E|------x-----
C|--x-----x---
G|------------

pattern is as follows:
-------|
x---x--|
--x----|

despite all the notes, it's really not too difficult! 

[Verse 1]
(Fingerpicking)
             
One time, I tr

           
ied to sing
             
About spring a

          
nd a storm
             
But you know


            
How it goes


             
"Blah, blah, b

              
lah, blah, bla

              
h, blah, blah-

             
blah, blah"
           
All along

 
             
Won't you plea

            
se stop compla

       
ining?
              
I'm playing a 

       
song

[Chorus 1]
(Strumming)
             
But all the ra

              
in drops in th

       
e same
             
Falling to fro

              
m where they c

    
ame
             
On the ground 

             
and back aroun

            
d up into the 

   
sky

(Down, Down, Up-Slap)
(Fingerpick, starting on second note of the pattern for the first G)

[Verse 2]
(Strumming)
             
I wish you cou

              
ld've heard th

  
e music
             
When the cloud

              
s growled over

    
head
             
I finally felt

         
 enthusiastic
             
I finally felt

  
 alive
             
"Blah, blah, b

              
lah, blah, bla

              
h, blah, blah-

             
blah, blah"
            
So you said

  
             
"Would it plea

            
se you to list

   
en
              
To thunder ins

         
tead?"

[Chorus 2]
(Aggressive strumming)
             
When the rain 

              
came down that

    
 day
             
And it drained

             
 my soul away
             
And I wondered

             
 why I even bo

           
thered to try
