A        C#m  A             C#m          A
Shake me down, not a lot of people left around

A         C#m  A       C#m           A
Who knows now?  Softly laying on the ground

 C#m A            C#m          A      C#m A  C#m
Oooh not a lot of people left around oooh   oooh

A      C#m             F#m       Bm            A
 In my life I have seen   people walk into the sea

            C#m        F#m            Bm           A
Just to find   memories    plagued by constant misery

          C#m          F#m Bm             A
Their eyes   cast down,    fixed upon the ground

          C#m         F#m Bm
Their eyes   cast down

E                                  A C#m
 I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

A              C#m A       C#m
 Shake me down,     cut my hair on a silver cloud

A      C#m    A       C#m                 A
 Broken sound, softly laying on the ground

C#m A              C#m               A    C#m A    C#m
Oooh  not a lot of people left around oooh     oooh

A      C#m               F#m           Bm               A
 In my past, bittersweet,   there's no love between the sheets

A               C#m     F#m     Bm             A
Taste the blood, broken dreams, lonely times indeed

         C#m        F#m Bm             A                C#m         F#m
With eyes cast down,    fixed upon the ground, with eyes   cast down

E
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

Walk around the corner, never saw it coming, still

I try to make a move   it almost stopped me from belief

        E                F#m        A
I don't want to know the future, I'm like Rolling Thunder

D                   A
Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day
