[G]
[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 eyes were [F] wide and already open.
[D] My nightstand and my [E] dresser were [G] those nightmares I'd just been.
[C] So I dressed myself and left them [G] out into the gray streets.
[F] But everything seemed different, [G] everything new to me.
[Am] The sky, the trees, [Em] houses, buildings, [F] even my own body.
[D] And each person I encountered, [G] I couldn't wait to meet.
[C] And I came upon a doctor [G] who appeared in quite poor health.
I [F] said, there's nothing that I can do for [G] you, you can't do for yourself.
He [Am] said, oh yes, you can.
I just held my [F] hand.
I think that that would help.
[D] So I sat with him a [G] while, and I asked him how he felt.
He [Dm] said, I [A] think I'm sure.
No, in fact, [Am] I'm sure.
[F] I think [Am] he's a stranger.
[G] He started pleading to smile.

So that's how I learned the lesson [G] that everyone is alone.
[F] And your eyes must do some raining [G] if you're ever going to grow.
But when [A] crying don't help, you can compose yourself.
[F] It's best to compose a poem.
[D] And on this verse of longing, [G] or a simple song of hope,
that's [C] why I'm singing, baby, don't worry.
[G] Because now I've got your back.
[F] And every time you feel like crying, [G] I'm going to try and make you laugh.
[Am] And if I can, if it just hurts too [F] bad, then we'll wait for it to pass.
[D] And I will keep you company [G] through those days so long and black.
[C] And we'll keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve.
[F] Of love's uneven remainder is [G] a lively fraction of a whole.
[Am] But if the world could remain within a [F] frame like a painting on a wall,
[D] then I think we'd see the beauty [G] in it, it stands staring in awe.
[F] At our [A] still lives pose like a [Am] bowl of rolled meat,
like a story [Am]
told, [G] but I fall blind in [F] the [C] sorrow.
