Verse 1:
                                        F/C
What's inside that cloudy little head?
                              Cmaj7
C'mon, won't you stretch it out?
    F/C
Afraid they'll really see ya
                              Cmaj7
And figure what you're all about

F/C
Everybody knows you're as perfect
                       Cmaj7
As the roses in the ground
F/C
You don't see that though
                                    Cmaj7
You're so busy on your own little cloud
 
 
Chorus:
             F/C                Cmaj7
Sometimes impatient, but mostly patient
         F/C                       Cmaj7
I see you waiting for things to change
             F/C              Cmaj7
Outside, it's raining, precipitating
             F/C                 Cmaj7
I know you're aching for better days
 
Post-chorus:
 
Dm             Cmaj7
Tried all your tricks
              Dm            Cmaj7
It won't fix anything this time
         Dm            Em
Got your eyes on the prize
        F/C             G
Like a bird looking for sunshine
 
[Instrumental]
F/C Cmaj7 (2x)
 
 
Verse 2:
                   F/C
What's behind that frowning little face?
                                  Cmaj7
Sometimes you wanna throw it all away
F/C
Hope that you don't mind me saying
                        Cmaj7
I think that would be a waste
 
            F/C
When you're feeling like a stone
                                Cmaj7
Skipping on your own across the waves
   F/C
So lonely in the zone
                                  Cmaj7
I think you oughta give yourself a break
 
 
Chorus:
             F/C                Cmaj7
Sometimes impatient, but mostly patient
         F/C                       Cmaj7
I see you waiting for things to change
             F/C              Cmaj7
Outside, it's raining, precipitating
             F/C                   Cmaj7
I know you're aching for brighter days
