    C                      Bdim 
the rain starts off and it wakes you up

E7                         Am                    C F           
you can't sleep with that racket on the roof

    C                      Bdim
you get up slow but you can't get going

    E7                     Am                  C F
it seems this morning the lowness has won

           C              Bdim                 E7
did you stop to see? mediocrity and your self pity,

           Am               C                  F
they were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny

        C           Bdim
did you notice that happiness

E7                     Am                C                         F
happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding

               C                   Bdim
you say, "it's not my fault that i get so low

            E7                               Am
there's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down,

     C                          F
it's pulling me down, i swear it"

Am                   G       C              F
so come on by my house and unleash me your monsters

        Am           G          C                  F
with you at the healm we'll go crashing around together

      Am                 G             C                      F 
and don't mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary

      Am               G           C               F
cause baby this is love, i'll come down to hell to keep you company

    Am                F                   C       G
of all the days we've got we should be screaming out...

    Am                F                   C       G
of all the days we've got we should be screaming out...

    Am                F                C        G
of all the days we've got we should be singing...
C G Am F x2 (For this whole section you can use G's instead of F's wherever you want)
C                 G                   Am              
what's to be done? one hundred and one

                  F                     C
in a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows

               G                        Am
in innocent ribs, we're minding our business

                          F                                  C
we're just minding our business instead of minding our minds

                      G                      Am
in times when the storms will ravage your clothes,

                   F                           C
the sound and the colour could render you blind

                         G                      Am
and the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep

                      F                         C
then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour

                  G                 Am
but heaven is there, under your hair,

                 F                        C
it hides in the noon noise way up in the air

                      G      Am
like a bird on the breeze    

                 F             C        
waiting for you and maybe me too
C G Am F x2
C               G                  Am
whats there to do? one hundred and two

                   F                             C
are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back

                  G                      Am
they're wanting in, they're humming our hymn

           F          
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...

C                       G          Am         F
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...

C                       G          Am         F
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...

C          G             Am             F             
in the trees, listen to it, it's easy man, you can do it too

C      G               Am    F
sing: i know what i want

C G                Am  F
i  know what i need
cause it's the simplest thing... C G Am F x2 (stop subbing G's for F's)
    Am                     F                C      G
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...

    Am                     F                C      G
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...

    Am                    F                 C                  G
of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house

           C                       Bdim
if i could cheer you up it would mean so much,

E7                 Am                G               F
clowns in love and laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off

              C                   Bdim 
you say, "its not my fault that i get so low

       E7                       Am                       C
but to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love,

               F
it's a fucking sick way to love"
