[Intro]
| Asus2 | A | Asus2 | A |
[Verse 1]
Asus2 How many days will the wet weather last? A G E/G# I want know will the clouds when they roll back A F#m Reveal a man in an old mac Bsus4 B Living on a park bench | Esus4 E | Asus2 | A | Sitting on his own
[Verse 2]
Asus2 Cut to the rain as it runs down the glass A G E/G# Eventually through the lightning and thunder A F#m We see a man going under Bsus4 B This is how it happens Esus4 E This is what he said
[Chorus]
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 E A You're always telling me E A About my misery E F#m I've seen things you'll never see D | Asus2 | A | Don't pity me
[Verse 3]
Asus2 Focus in on the breath of a man A G E/G# Who takes a brown paper bag 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
[Chorus]
E A(6) I don't need love E A(6) Though temptation is sweet E F#m Give me your hand D A 'Til I'm back on my feet E A You're always telling me E A About my misery E F#m I've seen things you'll never see D | Asus2 | A | Don't pity me
[Middle 8]
C I'll be right again C | Asus2 | A | Be upright without you C I'll stand up again C | Asus2 | A | Kick up a fuss again too
[Verse 4]
Asus2 Cut back again to a girl walking by A G E/G# 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
[Chorus]
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 E A You're always telling me E A About my misery E F#m I've seen things you'll never see D | Asus2 | A | Don't pity me
[Outro]
(= middle 8)
C I'll stand up again C Asus2 Kick up a fuss again too C I'll be right again C Asus2 Be upright without you
(We see a life through the eyes of a man
As he live and he dies
By a simple tattoo)
[Outro]
(= middle 8)
C I'll be back again C Asus2 When I land on my feet C I'll stand up again C Asus2 Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you
(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)
[Outro]
(= middle 8)
C Give me your hand again C Asus2 'Til I land again
(His face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade
And the picture we made
Is in glorious cinemascope)
C I'll be back ... C Asus2 I'll be back
(repeat and fade)
