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

Forgot it for now - I'll post it later

A D E
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
A D E
I'll take a simple C to G and feel brand new about it.
F#m Bm F#m Bm C Bm C Bm C
I understand why the old mission men sail along, sail along, sail along.
D E
Someday he'll be gone

A D E A
I hear you talking' 'bout your troubles. Everybody's got their troubles
too.
A D E A
You can make them burst like clouds, if you know just what to do.
A D E A
You know I've been called a dreamer. Dreams that never will come true.
A D E A
But I've been called so many things before. Tell you what I'm gonna do.
