Start Jamming...
[C] The rain had started tapping [G] on the window near my bed
[F] There was a loophole in my dreaming, [G] so I got out of it
[Am] And to my surprise my [C] eyes were [F] wide and already open
[D] My nightstand and my dresser, [G] all those nightmares had just been
[C] So I dressed myself and left then, [G] out into the grey streets
[F] But everything seemed different, [G] and completely new to me
[Am] The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, [F] even my own body
[D] And each person I encountered, [G] I couldn't wait to meet
[C] Then I came upon a doctor, [G] who appeared in quite poor health
I said, [F] there's nothing that I can do for you, [G] you can't do for yourself
He said, [Am] oh yes you can, just hold my hand, [F] I think that that would help
[D] So I sat with him a while, [G] then I asked him how he felt
He said, [Dm] I [A] think I'm cured, [F] in [Am] fact I'm sure of it
[F] Thank [Am] you stranger, [G] for your therapeutic [C] smile
So [G]
[F] [G]
[Am] [F]
[D] [G]
[C] that's how I learned the lesson, [G] that everyone is alone
[F] And your eyes must do some raining, [Em] if you're ever [G] gonna grow
But when [A] crying don't help, you can't compose yourself
I thought it was [F] best to compose a poem, [D] an honest verse of longing
[G] Or a simple song of hope, that's why [C] I'm singing
Baby don't worry, [G] cause now I've got your back
[F] And every time you feel like crying, [G] I'm gonna try and make you laugh
[Am] And if I can, if it just hurts too [F] bad, then we'll wait for it to [Am] pass
[D] And I will keep you company, [G] for those days so long and black
And [C] we'll keep working on the problem, [G] we know we'll never solve
[F] Of love's uneven remain, there's a [G] lot of reflections of a whole
But [Am] if the world could remain within a [F] frame, like a painting on a wall
[D] Then I think we'd see the beauty in [G] them, we'd stand staring in awe
[F] At our [A] still lives pose, [F] like [Am] a bowl of oranges
[F] Like [Em] a [Am] story told, [G] by a fog light and a sorrow
