 A
How many days will the wet weather last?

A                         G
I want to know will the clouds

                E
When they roll back

Reveal a man in an old mac

Living on a park bench

Sitting on his own? 

 A
Cut to the rain as it runs down the glass

Eventually through the lightning and thunder

We see a man going under

This is how it happens

This is what he said  

E             A
I don't need love

            E          A
Though temptation is sweet 

 E            F#m
Give me your hand

'Til I'm back on my feet

You're always telling me about my misery

I've seen things you'll never see

 D         A
Don't pity me

Focus in on the breath of a man

 A                       G
Who takes a brown paper bag

              E
From his knapsack 

              A                 F#m
Between his whispers and wise cracks  

                     Bsus4  B
He's looking for permission

                 Esus4  E
Screaming at the sky 

E             A
I don't need love

            E          A
Though temptation is sweet

Don't pity me

 I'll be right again 

                    A
Be upright without you 

C
 I'll stand up again 

                      A
Kick up a fuss again too 

 A
Cut back again to a girl walking by 

                        G                 E
Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks 

            A            F#m
Climb an invisible soap box 

                       Bsus4  B
Laughing at the traffic 

                 Esus4  E
Shouting at the world 

E             A
I don't need love

            E          A
Though temptation is sweet 

 E            F#m
Give me your hand

          D          A
'Til I'm back on my feet

 I'll be right again 

                    A
Be upright without you 

A
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 

                   A
When I land on my feet 

C
 I'll stand up again 

                                A
Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you 

A
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 
'Til I land again
A
His face starts to fade 
As we pull down the shade And the picture we made Is in glorious cinemascope
C                  A
 I'll be back...
