(Capo on 3) [Intro] [Verse]: I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain … [Chorus]: Purple rain purple rain Purple rain purple rain Purple rain purple rain I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain [Verse]: I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby I could never steal you from another And it’s such a shame that our friendship will ever had to end … [Chorus]: Purple rain purple rain Purple rain purple rain Purple rain purple rain I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain [Solo]: [Verse]: Honey I know I know I know times are changing And it’s time we all reach out for something new that means you too And you say you want a leader but you can’t seem to make up your mind I think you better close it let me guide you to the purple rain … [Chorus]: Purple rain purple rain Oh purple rain purple rain Oh purple rain purple rain I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
