ADEA
I've seen the rain pouring down. The sky was grey with a speck of blue.
ADEA
Deep through a hole in the clouds, the sun was screaming' hey you.
ADEA
As you ramble through your sorrow, seems like everything come out wrong.
ADEA
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow's, I know something's helping me along.

ADE
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
ADE

F#mBmF#mBmCBmCBmC

DE
Someday he'll be gone

ADEA
I hear you talking' 'bout your troubles. Everybody's got their troubles
too.
ADEA
You can make them burst like clouds, if you know just what to do.

ADEA
But I've been called so many things before. Tell you what I'm gonna do.
