The rain, it started tappin, on the window near my bed
FG
There was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it
AmF
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open
D7G
To my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been
CG
So I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets
FG
But everything seemed different, completely new to me
AmF
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body
D7G
And each person I encountered, I couldn’t wait to meet
CG
And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health
FG
I said there’s nothing that I can do for you you can’t do for yourself
AmF
He said “Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help”
D7G
So I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt
[Chorus 1]

He said "I think I'm cured. In fact I'm sure.
Csus4C/BAmG
Thank you stranger, for your therapeutic smile."

[Verse]
CG
So that’s how I learned the lesson, that everyone’s alone
FG
And your eyes must do some raining, if you’re ever gonna grow
AmF
And when cryin don’t help, you can’t compose yourself it’s best to compose a poem
D7G
An honest verse of longing, or a simple song of hope
CG
That’s why I’m singin’ baby don’t worry, cause now I've got you back
FG
And every time you feel like crying, I’m gonna try and make you laugh
AmF
And if I can’t, if it just hurts too bad, then we’ll wait for it to pass
D7G
And I will keep you company, for those days so long and black
CG
And we’ll keep working on the problem, that no one ever solved
FG
Of love’s uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole
AmF
But if the world could remain within a frame, like a painting on a wall
D7G
Then I think we’d see the beauty and, we’d stand staring in awe
[Chorus 2]
Csus4C/BAmCsus4C/BAm
At our still lives posed, like a bowl of oranges
Csus4C/BAmGC
Like a sto - ry told, by fault lines in the soil
[Outro]
GFG
Ooh, ooh
