[G]
[C] The rain had started tapping [G] on the window near my bed.
It [F] was a loophole in my dreaming, [G] so I got out of it.
And [Am] to my surprise, my eyes [C] were wide [F] and already open.
[D] My nightstand and my dresser [G] were those nightmares I'd just spent.
[C] So I dressed myself and left then, [G] out into the gray streets.
[F] But everything seemed [Dm] different, [G] like it was speaking into me.
[A] The sky, the trees, houses, [Am] buildings, even [F] my own body.
And [D] each person I encountered, [G] I couldn't wait to meet.
And [C] I came upon a doctor who [G] appeared in quite poor health.
I said, there's [F] nothing that I can do for you, you [G] 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] Well, [Em] in fact, [Am] I'm sure of it.
[F] I think [Am] he's a stranger.
[G] But he's there if he didn't [C] smile.

[D] [G]
[C] So that's how I learned the lesson, [G] that everyone's alone.
And [F] your eyes must do some raining, [G] if you're ever gonna grow.
But when [Am] crying don't help, you [A] can't compose yourself.
[F] It's best to compose a poem.
[D] And all that's worth so long, [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 [C] hurts too [F] bad, then we'll wait for it to [Am] pass.
[D] And I will keep you company, [G] through the days so long and black.
And [C] we'll keep working on the problem we [G] know we'll never solve.
[F] Of love's uneven remain, there's [G] a lot of diffractions of a whole.
[Am] But if the world could remain [C] within a [F] frame, like a painting on a wall.
[D] Then I think we'd see the beauty [G] then, if we'd stand staring in awe.
[F] At our [A] still lives close, like [F] a [Am] bowl of oranges.
[F] Like a [Am] story told, [G] but it fell blind, and it [F] was so [G] [C] long
[G] ago.
