G 
 I never wanted to be your weekend (Em) lover 
D                                 C
 I only wanted to be some kind of  friend
G                                    Em
 Baby I could never steal you from another
D                                        G NC

 Honey I know I know I know times are  changin'
D                                         C
 It's time we all reach out for somethin'  new
That means you too
G
   You say you want a leader
Em
   But you can't seem to make up your mind

and let me guide you to the purple  rain

|                    G
|Purple rain, purple  rain {blue}(Whew){/blue}
|if you know what I'm singin' about
|            Em
|help me and  come on raise your hand
|                    D
|Purple rain, purple  rain
|I only want to see you, only want to see you
|              G  NC
|In the purple  rain
