C (x32010@1) GThe (320003@1)rain it started tappin, on the window near my bed
Dm (xx0231@1) GThere (320003@1)was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it
Am (x02210@1) FAnd (133211@1)to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open
Dm (xx0231@1) GTo (320003@1)my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been
C (x32010@1) GSo (320003@1)I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets
Dm (xx0231@1) GBut (320003@1)everything seemed different, completely new to me
Am (x02210@1) FThe (133211@1)sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body
Dm (xx0231@1) GAnd (320003@1)each person I encountered, I couldn't wait to meet
C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health
Dm (xx0231@1) GI (320003@1)said there's nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself
Am (x02210@1) FHe (133211@1)said "Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help"
Dm (xx0231@1) GSo (320003@1)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 (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GSo (320003@1)that's how I learned the lesson, that everyone's alone
Dm (xx0231@1) GAnd (320003@1)eyes must do some raining, if you're ever gonna grow
Am (x02210@1) FAnd (133211@1)when cryin don't help, you can't compose yourself it's best to compose a poem
Dm (xx0231@1) GAn (320003@1)honest verse of longing, or a simple song of hope
C (x32010@1) GThat's (320003@1)why I'm singin' baby don't worry, cause now I got you back
Dm (xx0231@1) GAnd (320003@1)every time you feel like crying, I'm gonna try and make you laugh
Am (x02210@1) FAnd (133211@1)if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we'll wait for it to pass
Dm (xx0231@1) GAnd (320003@1)I will keep you company, for those days so long and black
C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)we'll keep working on the problem, that no one ever solved
Dm (xx0231@1) GOf (320003@1)love's uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole
Am (x02210@1) FBut (133211@1)if the world could remain within a frame, like a painting on a wall
Dm (xx0231@1) GThen (320003@1)I think we'd see the beauty and, we'd stand staring in awe
At our still lives posed, like a bowl of oranges
