[F#] When raindrops [E] fall and you [B] feel low
Oh, do you ever [F#] think it's useless?
[E] Do you feel [B] like letting go?
Do you ever sit [F#] and do you wonder
[E] Will the world [B] ever change?
And just [F#] how long [E] will it take
To have it all [B]
rearranged?
Tell me [G#] why these things [E] are still
[B] the same
Tell [G#] me why no one [E] can seem to
[C#m] Learn from [B] mistakes
[Em]
Take [F#] my hand
[E] If you don't know [B] where you're going
I'll [F#] understand
[E] I've lost the way [B] myself
Oh, don't [F#] take that old route
[E] It [B] leads to nowhere
We [F#] must return
[E] Before the clock [B] strikes twelve

It's so easy [F#] to do [E] nothing
When you're busy [B] night and day
Take a step in [F#] one direction
[E] And take a step [B] the other way
So don't quit [F#] trying when you stumble
[E] Don't give [B] up should you fall
Keep [F#] on searching for the pathway
[E] That'll [B] lead you through the walls
Don't [G#] look back for you
[E] Keep [B] trying
Don't [G#] look back for you
[E] We'll never
[C#m] find [B] peace of mind

[E] I've lost the way [B] myself
Oh, don't [F#] take that old route
