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

Asus2
  Cut to the rain as it runs down the glass
E/G#
  Eventually through the lightning and thunder
         F#m
We see a man going under
               B
This is how it happens
                E
This is what he said


A
I don't need love
           A
Though temptation is sweet
F#m
Give me your hand
         A
'Til I'm back on my feet
A
You're always telling me
A
About my misery
     F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
A]
Don't pity me

Asus2
  Focus in on the breath of a man
E/G#
  Who takes a brown paper bag from his knapsack
            F#m
Between his whispers and wise cracks
                    B
He's looking for permission
                 E
Screaming at the sky


A(6)
I don't need love
           A(6)
Though temptation is sweet
F#m
Give me your hand
         A
'Til I'm back on my feet
A
You're always telling me
A
About my misery
     F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
A]
Don't pity me

C
  I'll be right again
A
  Be upright without you
C
  I'll stand up again
A
  Kick up a fuss again too


Asus2
Cut back again to a girl walking by
E/G#
  Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks
           F#m
Climb an invisible soap box
                B
Laughing at the traffic
                E
Shouting at the world


A
I don't need love
           A
Though temptation is sweet
F#m
Give me your hand
         A
'Til I'm back on my feet
A
You're always telling me
A
About my misery
     F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
A]
Don't pity me

C
  I'll stand up again
Asus2
Kick up a fuss again too
C
  I'll be right again
Asus2
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
  I'll be back again
Asus2
  When I land on my feet
C
  I'll stand up again
Asus2
  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
  Give me your hand again
Asus2
  '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
  I'll be back ...
Asus2
  I'll be back

(repeat and FADE)
