Like a bolt of lightning

Like a bolt of thunder

Like a cloudy day

            A
Down at the zoo

Like a drowning man

In the middle of the night

                G
You'd ask me to make you smile

You'd come on like a one-armed child

                   A          A7
With a hole in its shoe, poor you

F#m
Everybody oughta know

                       G

Not you, to me, can't we be just like

Lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow

D                   E                      A
Can I find a little something with a nicer view

D             E                        A
I'm hating to plead but I'm begging to borrow
