How many days will the wet weather last?
E/G#
I want know will the clouds when they roll back
F# minorF#m
Reveal a man in an old mac
BB
Living on a park bench
E MajorE
Sitting on his own

Asus2Asus2
Cut to the rain as it runs down the glass
E/G#
Eventually through the lightning and thunder
F# minorF#m
We see a man going under
BB
This is how it happens
E MajorE
This is what he said
A augmentedA
I don't need love
A augmentedA
Though temptation is sweet
F# minorF#m
Give me your hand
A augmentedA
'Til I'm back on my feet
A augmentedA
You're always telling me
A augmentedA
About my misery
F# minorF#m
I've seen things you'll never see
A augmentedA]
Don't pity me

Asus2Asus2
Focus in on the breath of a man
E/G#
Who takes a brown paper bag from his knapsack
F# minorF#m
Between his whispers and wise cracks
BB
He's looking for permission
E MajorE
Screaming at the sky
A(6)
I don't need love
A(6)
Though temptation is sweet
F# minorF#m
Give me your hand
A augmentedA
'Til I'm back on my feet
A augmentedA
You're always telling me
A augmentedA
About my misery
F# minorF#m
I've seen things you'll never see

Don't pity me

C majorC
I'll be right again
A augmentedA
Be upright without you
C majorC
I'll stand up again
A augmentedA
Kick up a fuss again too
Asus2Asus2
Cut back again to a girl walking by
E/G#
Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks
F# minorF#m
Climb an invisible soap box
BB
Laughing at the traffic
E MajorE
Shouting at the world
A augmentedA
I don't need love
A augmentedA
Though temptation is sweet
F# minorF#m
Give me your hand
A augmentedA
'Til I'm back on my feet
A augmentedA
You're always telling me
A augmentedA
About my misery
F# minorF#m
I've seen things you'll never see

C majorC
I'll stand up again
Asus2Asus2
Kick up a fuss again too
C majorC
I'll be right again
Asus2Asus2
Be upright without you
(We see a life through the eyes of a man
As he live and he dies
By a simple tattoo)
C majorC
I'll be back again
Asus2Asus2
When I land on my feet
C majorC
I'll stand up again
Asus2Asus2
Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you
(Well there you go, though we tried hard to know him
It's there on his face
He's a case where there's clearly no hope)
C majorC
Give me your hand again
Asus2Asus2
'Til I land again
(His face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade
And the picture we made
Is in glorious cinemascope)
C majorC
I'll be back ...
Asus2Asus2
I'll be back
(repeat and FADE)
