🎸 Verse :
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Under a black umbrella, you were keeping to yourself
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And the rain came down like diamonds on the sidewalk where you stood
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Another lonely town across the endless bible belt
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Nothing big enough for headlines ever happened here until today
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Looking like a stranger in your older brother’s coat
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
You were watching from the corner, as the day slowly unfolded
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
A majorA ringing bell against the door of Frank’s Savings and Loan
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And you saw it all, the teller ducking down, the gun exploding
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Like an old bronze statue, you were frozen there in place
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
One man slumped on the counter while the other filled a pillowcase
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And suddenly your feet were running, rain all in your face
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Across the street, the ringing bell, the door, the engine roaring
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Blood was on the floor, the teller reaching out his hand
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
You felt his pulse, you called for help, you tried to stop the bleeding
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Sirens on the boulevard, a rush of blue motion
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Like a wave came on, their weapons drawn, the teller’s soul just leaving
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Hands over your head they said, and you tried to tell the truth
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
The pillowcase, the getaway, the car, the blood and you
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
In your older brother’s coat, your stocking hat and worn out shoes
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
But to them, you were just some punk kid cracked out and skipping school
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Anger like a freighter pulling punches in your head
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And you tried to push your way past all the uniforms and the dead man
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
But they pulled you to the ground your face pressed on the wet cement
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Like an animal, spreadeagle, the umbrella in your waistband
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Gun, somebody cried, and you kicked your legs and broke the window
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
In a chaos of confusion, raining glass like diamonds loosed and you were
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
On your feet again and then a bullet danced right through you
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And the ground came up like some great flood and then you were not moving
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Under a black umbrella, you were keeping to yourself
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And the rain came down like diamonds on the sidewalk where you fell
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And nothing in the headlines even mentioned you at all
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Just a corner note about a cracked out kid who broke the law
