      [Chorus]
Bm
I can’t make my mood match the weather
                                   Em
I can’t make the weather do what I want
          F#                                A
so I’ve resigned myself to pry that big old sun out of the sky
           Em              A               Bm
and I will live my days in darkness 'til I die

[Verse]
I tried to be good, I was a failure
                                     Em
so I took to taking all the good men down
   F#                        A
it wasn’t hard to do, I just huffed and puffed and blew
      Em                 A             Bm
until all the two-shoes scattered underground
             A
you could be right
           Em             Bm
they might come for me at night
         D                                   F#
in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door
Bm         A
for all my spite
        Em            Bm
I might never win the fight
           D                F#                  Bm
but I will rage against the light forever more
I drank the blood of angels from a bottle
                                          Em
just to see if I could call the lightning down
   F#                               A
it hasn’t struck me yet and I would wage my soul to bet
                 Em              A            Bm
that there ain’t no one throwing lightning anyhow
Too many tries at tempting fate to call it over
                                             Em
and you get to thinking fate’s got different plans
           F#                               A
like maybe i’m not born to die but to bring darkness to the sky
              Em               A        Bm
and pull that goddamn sun down anyway I can
             A
you could be right
           Em             Bm
they might come for me at night
         D                                   F#
in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door
Bm         A
for all my spite
        Em            Bm
I might never win the fight
           D                F#                  Bm
but I will rage against the light forever more!

[Verse]
    G                 A
and oh the hopelessly tender hearted
D                           G
tend to sing the loudest of love
Em               F#                 BM           F#7
but my sweet temptations turn their songs into a lie
  G                   A
I fold the grass over all they’ve started
   D                          G
to never see the light of the sun
Em               F#                Bm
as they dwell in darkness so shall I
don’t try to come around here, spreading sentiments of cheer
              Em
you told your last white lie, everything is not alright
    F#                  A
you hope, you pray, you love the light of day
            Em              A           Bm
but there’s no one up there listening tonight
             A
you could be right
           Em             Bm
they might come for me at night
         D                                   F#
in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door
Bm         A
for all my spite
        Em            Bm
I might never win the fight
           D                F#                  Bm
but I will rage against the light forever more

[Chorus]
I can’t make my mood match the weather
                                   Em
I can’t make the weather do what I want
           F#                               A
so I’ve resigned myself to pry that big old sun out of the sky
           Em              A               Bm
and I will live my days in darkness 'til I die
