C G The rain it started tappin, on the window near my bed Dm G There was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it Am F And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open Dm G To my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been C G So I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets Dm G But everything seemed different, completely new to me Am F The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body Dm G And each person I encountered, I couldn?t wait to meet C G And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health Dm G I said there?s nothing that I can do for you that you can?t do for yourself Am F He said ?Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help? Dm G So I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt He said "I think I'm cured. In fact I'm sure.

CGDGAF G C G So that?s how I learned the lesson, that everyone?s alone Dm G And eyes must do some raining, if you?re ever gonna grow Am F And when cryin don?t help, you can?t compose yourself it?s best to compose a poem Dm G An honest verse of longing, or a simple song of hope C G That?s why I?m singin? baby don?t worry, cause now I got you back Dm G And every time you feel like crying, I?m gonna try and make you laugh Am F And if I can?t, if it just hurts too bad, then we?ll wait for it to pass Dm G And I will keep you company, for those days so long and black C G And we?ll keep working on the problem, that no one ever solved Dm G Of love?s uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole Am F But if the world could remain within a frame, like a painting on a wall Dm G Then I think we?d see the beauty and, we?d stand staring in awe At our still lives posed, like a bowl of oranges --------0-----0-----0-------------0---0---0-------| --------1-----1-----1-------------1---1---1-------| --------0-----0-----2-------------0---0---2-------| --------3-----2-----2-------------3---2---2-------| --------3-----2-------------------3---2-----------| --------------------------------------------------| Like a story told, of fault lines, and soul, ohh, ohh --------0-0---0---| G C --------1-1---1---| --------0-0---2---| --------3-2---2---| --------3-2---0---| ------------------|
