Enjoi.
Oh, the spaces aren't pauses, I just didn't have room to write the chords.
C/B = x22010
C G
The rain it started tappin on the window near my bed
F 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 then, out into the gray streets.
F G
But everything seemed different and 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
I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health.
F G
I said there is nothing I can do for you you can't do for yourself.
Am F
He said oh yes you can, just hold my hand, I think that would help.
Dm G
So I sat with him a while and then I asked him how he felt.
Csus4 C/B Am
He said, I think I'm cured.
Csus4 C/B Am
No, in fact, I'm sure.
Csus4 C/B Am G
Thank you Stranger, for your therapeutic smile.
Verse chords x2
C G
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone.
F G
And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow.
Am F
But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself, It is best to compose a poem.
Dm F
An honest verse of longing or simple song of hope.
C G
That is why I'm singing Baby don't worry cause now I got your back.
F 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 will wait for it to pass
Dm F
and I will keep you company through those days so long and black.
C G
And we'll keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve
F 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 F
Then I think we would see the beauty then we would stand staring in awe
Csus4 C/B Am
At our still lives posed
Csus4 C/B Am
like a bowl of oranges,
Csus4 C/B Am G
like a sto -ry told by the fault lines and the soil.
