[Verse 1]
CAm
I never meant to cause you any sorrow,

I never meant to cause you any pain.

I only want one time to see you laughing
GG** C*
only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
[Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain,
CAm
purple rain, purple rain,
GG
purple rain, purple rain,
GG** C*
only want to see you bathing in the Purple Rain
[Verse 2]
CAm
I never wanted to be your weekend lover,

I only wanted to be some kind of friend.
CAm
Baby, I could never steal you from another,
GG** C*
it's such a shame our friendship had to end.
[Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain,

purple rain, purple rain,

GG** C*
only want to see you bathing in the Purple Rain
[Verse 3]
CAm
I know, I know, times are changin',
GF
it's time we all reach out for the new, that means you too.
CAm
You say you want a leader but you can't seem to make up your mind
GG** C*
I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain.
[End-Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain,
CAm
purple rain, purple rain,
GG
purple rain, purple rain,
GG** C*
well, want to see you, well, want to see you in the purple rain.
