The rain, it started tappin, on the window near my bed 
            F                         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 
      D7                                    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 
    F                               G 
But everything seemed different, completely new to me 
    Am                                  F 
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body 
         D7                      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 
               F                                 G 
I said there’s nothing that I can do for you you can’t do for yourself 
            Am                               F 
He said “Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help” 
     D7                          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.  
      Csus4 C/B Am            G 
Thank you  stranger, for your therapeutic smile."

So that’s how I learned the lesson, that everyone’s alone 
         F                                    G 
And your 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 
   D7                            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've got you back 
          F                                    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 
    D7                                 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 
          F                                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 
       D7                                  G 
Then I think we’d see the beauty and, we’d stand staring in awe
[Estribillo]
       Csus4 C/B   Am            Csus4 C/B Am 
At our still lives posed, like a bowl  of  oranges 
       Csus4 C/B Am      G                  C 
Like a sto - ry told, by fault lines in the soil

Ooh,  ooh
