[Asus2]How many days will the wet weather last?
[A] I want know will the [G]clouds when they roll [E/G#]back
Reveal a [A]man in an old [F#m]mac
Living on a [Bsus4]park bench[B]
Sitting on his [Esus4]own[E]
| Asus2 | % | A | % |
[Asus2] Cut to the rain as it runs down the glass
[A] Eventually through the [G]lightning and thun[E/G#]der
We see a [A]man going un[F#m]der
This is how it [Bsus4]happens[B]
This is what he [Esus4]said[E]
[E]I don't need [A]love
Though temp[E]tation is [A]sweet
[E]Give me your [F#m]hand
'Til I'm [D]back on my [A]feet
[E]You're always t[A]elling me
[E]About my [A]misery
I've [E]seen things you'll [F#m]never see
[D]Don't pity [(A)]me
| Asus2 | % | A | % |
[Asus2] Focus in on the breath of a man
[A] Who takes a brown paper [G]bag from his knap[E/G#]sack
Between his [A]whispers and wise [F#m]cracks
He's looking for per[Bsus4]mission[B]
Screaming at the [Esus4]sky[E]

[C] I'll be right again
[C] Be upright without [Asus2]you[A]
[C] I'll stand up again
[C] Kick up a fuss again [Asus2]too[A]
[Asus2]Cut back again to a girl walking by
[A] Until the feet that are [G]all shoes and no [E/G#]socks
Climb an in[A]visible soap [F#m]box
Laughing at the [Bsus4]traffic[B]
Shouting at the [Esus4]world[E]
[E]I don't need [A]love
Though temp[E]tation is [A]sweet
[E]Give me your [F#m]hand
'Til I'm [D]back on my [A]feet

[C]Kick up a fuss again [Asus2]too
[C] I'll be right again
[C]Be upright without [Asus2]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
[C] When I land on my [Asus2]feet
[C] I'll stand up again
[C] Kick up a fuss again, wouldn'[Asus2]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
[C] 'Til I land again[Asus2]
(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 ...
[C] I'll be back [Asus2]
(repeat and FADE)
