Verse 1
(G major) The rain (C major) it started tappin'
(G major) On the window near my bed
There (F major) was a loophole in my dreamin'
So I (G major) got out of it
And (A minor) to my surprise my eyes were wide
(F major) and already open
Just my night (D major) stand and
my dresser
Where those night (G major) mares had
just been
So I dressed (C major) myself
Verse 2
and left then
(G major) Out into the gray streets
But everything (F major) seemed different
And completely (G major) new to me
(A minor) The sky the trees, houses, buildings,
(F major) even my own body
And each per (D major) son I encountered
I could (G major) n't wait to meet
(C major) An d I came upon a doc (G major) tor Who appeared

Verse 3
in quite poor health
I said there's nothing (F major) that I can do
for you you can't (G major) do for yourself
He said (A minor) oh yes you can, just hold my hand,
(F major) I think that that would help
So I sat (D major) with him awhile
Then I (G major) asked him how he felt
Verse 4
He said I think (F major) (A minor) I'm cured
No, in fact, (F major) (A minor) I'm sure of it
(F major) Thank you, stranger (A minor)
For your thera (G major) peutic smile (C major) (G major)
(F major) (G major) (A minor)
(F major) (D major)
Verse 5
(G major)
So that's how (C major) I learned the lesson
(G major) That everyone's alone
And your eyes (F major) must do some raining
If you're (G major) ever gonna grow
And when crying (A minor) don't help
You can't compose yourself
It's (F major) best to compose a poem
An hon (D major) est verse of longing
(G major) Or a simple song of hope
Verse 6
(G major) That's why I'm singing (C major) baby
don't worry
(G major) 'Cause now I got your back
And every time (F major) you feel like crying
I'm gonna try (G major) and make you laugh
(A minor) And if I can't
If it just hurts too bad
(F major) Then we'll wait for it to pass
And I will (D major) keep you company for
those days (G major) so long and black
And we'll (C major) keep working on
Verse 7
the problem
(G major) We know we'll never solve
Of love's un (F major) even remainders
Our lives (G major) are fractions of a whole
But if the world could (A minor) remain
within a frame
(F major) Like a painting on a wall
Then I think (D major) we'd see
the beauty then
We'd stand (G major) staring in awe
At our still (F major) lives (A minor) posed
Verse 8
(F major) Like a bowl (A minor) of oranges
Like a story (F major) (A minor) told
By the fault-lines (G major) and and the soil
Outro 1

(A minor) (F major) (D major)
(G major) (C major)
(D major) (D major)
(D major) (G major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (A minor)
