[Verse]
D                                           G
I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral

Bm                            G
He took the time out to be seen

D                                                       G
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch

Bm                               G
That he'd been given by a magazine

D                                            G
He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon

Bm                                             G
Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece

D                                                       G
Crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again

Bm                                            G
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased
[Chorus]
            Em                                          G       D
He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall

          Em                                        G         D
From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small

Em                                        G        D
Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands

             Em                                G          D
He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
[Bridge] Em Bm D D 2x [Verse]
Em          D                             Bm
He took a chauffeur-driven car back to his hotel

Em                        D                    Bm
Passing through the city streets where he was born

Em                        D                    Bm
He said, "Driver, what's happened to these buildings?

Em                  D               Bm
They all look rundown and so forlorn"

Em         Bm                           D       
He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse

Em               Bm              D
Put the 'do not disturb' on his door

Em             Bm                D
When the maid came in the morning

Em                 Bm                   D
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor
[Chorus]
            Em                                          G       D
He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall

          Em                                        G         D
From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small

Em                                        G        D
Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands

             Em                                G          D
He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

            Em                                          G       D
He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall

          Em                                        G         D
From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small

Em                                        G        D
Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands

             Em                                G          D
He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
