C G The rain it started tappin, on the window near my bed Dm 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 them, out into the grey streets Dm G But everything seemed different, 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 And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health Dm G I said there’s nothing that I can do for you that you can’t do for yourself Am F He said “Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help” Dm G So I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt He said "I think I'm cured. In fact I'm sure. Thank you stranger, G for your therapeutic smile." Interlude: C G Dm G Am F G C G So that’s how I learned the lesson, that everyone’s alone Dm G And eyes must do some raining, if you’re ever gonna grow Am F And when cryin don’t help, you can’t compose yourself it’s best to compose a poem Dm G An honest Verse of longing, or a simple song of hope C G That’s why I’m singin’ baby don’t worry, cause now I got you back Dm 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’ll wait for it to pass Dm G And I will keep you company, for those days so long and black C G And we’ll keep working on the problem, that no one ever solved Dm 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 G Then I think we’d see the beauty and, we’d stand staring in awe At our still lives posed, like a bowl of oranges Like a story told, of fault lines, and soul, ohh, ohh Outro: G C
