C C                              G G
The rain it started tappin, on the window near my bed
Dm Dm G G
There was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it
Am Am F F
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open
Dm Dm G G
To my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been
C C G G
So I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets
Dm Dm G G
But everything seemed different, completely new to me
Am Am F F
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body
Dm Dm G G
And each person I encountered, I couldn't wait to meet
C C G G
And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health
Dm Dm G G
I said there's nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself
Am Am F F
He said "Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help"?
Dm Dm G G
So I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt
F F Em Em Am Am F F Em Em Am Am F F Em Em Am Am
He said "I think I'm cured. In fact I'm sure. Thank you stranger,
G G
for your therapeutic smile."


C C G G
So that's how I learned the lesson, that everyone's alone
Dm Dm G G
And eyes must do some raining, if you're ever gonna grow
Am Am F F
And when cryin don't help, you can't compose yourself it's best to compose a poem
Dm Dm G G
An honest verse of longing, or a simple song of hope
C C G G
That's why I'm singin' baby don't worry, cause now I got you back
Dm Dm G G
And every time you feel like crying, I'm gonna try and make you laugh
Am Am F F
And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we'll wait for it to pass
Dm Dm G G
And I will keep you company, for those days so long and black
C C G G
And we'll keep working on the problem, we know we'll never solve
Dm Dm G G
Of love's uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole
Am Am F F
But if the world could remain within a frame, like a painting on a wall
Dm Dm G G
Then I think we'd see the beauty and, we'd stand staring in awe
F F Em Em Am Am F F Em Em Am Am
At our still lives posed, like a bowl of oranges
F F Em Em Am Am G G
Like a story told, by the fault lines, in soil, ohh, ohh
