[G] [A] [F#m] [Bm]
[G] [A] [D]
I hear the sailing deadly [G] sands [D] and the terrible twins [Bm] came to call on you.
[G]
[D] The bigger they are baby, the [G] harder [A] they fall on you.
And [D] you, you're all [G] waiting to sing.
[A] You [D] persevere on the same old [G] pleasure ground.
[Bm] [F#m] Oh, and it [G] never rains [A] around here.
[F#m]
[G] [A] They just [D] don't fall in love.
[G] [A] [F#m] [Bm]
[A] [D]
There are no more volunteers, so you got properties for to help you out.
[G]
[D] Well, there's friends like that baby, good friends you had [A] to do without.
[D] And now they've [G] taken the [A] chains [D] and the gears from off the [G] AmeriCorps around.
[Bm] [F#m] Oh, and it [G] never rains around [A] here.
[D] [G] [F#m] [A] They just [D] come on down.
Now, I am your new Romeo.
It's just a jiggle [Bm] when he lets you down.
[G]
[D] See the faster they [G] are [D] baby, the faster [A] they get out of town.
[D] They'll even make up [G] stains [A] and the [D] tears in the cloud.
[G] [Bm]
[F#m] Yes, and it [G] never rains [A] around here.
[G] [A] They just [D] come falling down.
[G] [A] Oh, you were [Em] just a [A] rollercoaster [Em] memory.
[A] I don't [Em] know why I was [A] even passing [G] through.
[D] [A] So you're [Em] making a date [A] with destiny.
[Bm] [A] Yeah, they came [Em] around here asking [A] after you.
[D] [G] [A] In the shadow [Em] of the wheel of [A] fortune, [Em] [A] you're busy [Em] trying to clear your [A] name.
[G] [D] [A] You say I [Em] may be guilty.
[A] Yeah, [Bm] that may be true.
[G] [A] But I'd be lying [Em] if I said I [A] was to blame.
[D] [G] [A] You could [Em] have been major [A] contenders.
We never got [Em] no money, no [A] breaks.
[G] [D] [A] You've got a list [Em] of all the [A] major offenders.
[Bm] [G] You've [A] got a list of [Em] all the major [A] mysteries.
[D] [A] He's [Em] just standing [A] in the [Em] shadow.
[A] Asking you to smile, come on, smile.
[G] [A] Oh, I can still [Em] hear you say, [A] this year [Bm] is the day.
[A] I'd like to make it worth your while.
Oh, [D] but it's a sad reminder when your organ grinder has [Bm] to come to you for rent.
[G]
[D] And all you've got to give him is the use [A] of your sight.
Yes, [D] and that's all [G] that [A] remains [D] of the years spent doing [G] the rounds.
[Bm]
[F#m] And [G] never raining [A] around you.
[G] Oh, [A] well, it's just [D] come falling down.
[A] Now, you [Em] know what to say [A] about that.
[Em] You [A] [Em] can't complain [A] about the rules.
[G] [D] [A] Yeah, you know what to say about that.
[Bm] [G] [A] Yeah, [Em] I know who's the first [A] to blame.
[D] [A] You never [Em] gave a damn [A] about who [Em] you pick up.
[A] And he's a man bleeding on the ground.
[G] [D] [A] Most of the [Em] people on [A] your [Bm] way up [G] thought [A] [Em] that you were never [A] coming down.
[D] He [G] [A] finally picked [Em] you out and bought [A] every valley.
[Em] [A] With his hand up smothering your screen.
[G] [A] He screwed you down in Tin Pan
[Bm] Alley.
In [Em] the city of a billion [A] dreams.
