[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] But this is [A] all a dream we [G] dream, one afternoon [G] while we go.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Look out, [Am] and there's a way, [Em] to you [C] and to you, oh, life's a [G] deadly fall. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ There's a young [Am] bird down [E] at the turn around, some corner [G] where it's too quick to [A] reach you.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] What do [G] you want me to do, [Am] to watch for you while you're [D] _ sleeping? _ _ _
_ When [Am] you [Bm] don't [C] smile, you [G] might be dreaming [D] _
too. _ _ _ _ _ _

[D] _ Look into [Am] your eyes, [E] you'll [Em] find that you [C] can see if you do [G] for the day.
You've _ _ _
[D] _ _ been [Am] sleeping for [Em] two other hours [G] on another day, and you're [A] going _ _ home. _ _ _
[D] What do you [G] want me to do, [Am] _
before you do, do [D] you? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] It's all a dream we [E] dream, [D] one afternoon, a long [G] ago. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ Walking [Am] distant to _ [Em] sunlight, it's you and [C] you, dead dreams to [G] another hour. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ Maybe you're [Am] tired and broken, your tongue [Em] is just to move [C] the [G] words, half-broken and [A] lots of tears.
[F#m] _ _ What [D] _ [G] do you want me to do, [A]
before you [Em] do, do [D] you? _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] A box of rain [C] will even [G] make love to see [D] you through. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ Just a box of rain _
[Em] will [Am] even make [E] _ water [C] pretty if you [A] give it, if you [D] don't just [D] pass it [A] on. _ _
[G] _ Sun and _ shower, [Am]
we can [Em] pray.
_ [C] We can knock on [D] windows like they're [Em]
made [A] before they're _ made. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Just _ a [Em] box of rain, I [G] don't know who put [D] it there. _
Believe in it, [Bm] you'll see, _ I wanna [G] be in it [B] with you there. _
[D] And this, just a box [Em] of rain, will [G] never be enough for [D] your head.
It's a [Em] long, long time to be gone, and a [C] short [G] time to be [C] there. _ _
