C#7 C7 B7
One thousand umbrellas upturned couldn't catch all the rain that drained
A#7 A7 E/G# [ch]E7/G#[/ch]
out of my head when you said we were over and over I cried til I floated
G
downstream to a town they call
Esus4 D Esus4 D Esus4 D Esus4 B7
misery oh oh misery, misery oh oh misery
C#7, C7, B7, A#7, A7, E/G#, [ch]E7/G#[/ch], G ...as before
Esus4 D Esus4 E7
misery oh oh misery

A A7 F#dim
how can you smile and forecast weather's getting better, and you'll soon
E7 A
forget her if you let the sunshine come through
A7 A6 A+ A F#dim
how can you smile and forecast weather's getting better if you never let
D B C#7, G, F#
a girl rain all over you
B C#7 G F# B C#7, G7, F#7
And just when I thought that my vista was golden in hue

one thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
Bm A G+ F+ G+ F+ B Cdim
