[Verse 1]
Asus2
How many days will the wet weather last?
A G E/G#
I want know will the clouds when they roll back
A F#m
Reveal a man in an old mac

Living on a park bench
Esus4E Asus2A

Sitting on his own
[Verse 2]
Asus2
Cut to the rain as it runs down the glass
A G E/G#
Eventually through the lightning and thunder
A F#m
We see a man going under
Bsus4 B
This is how it happens
Esus4 E
This is what he said
[Chorus]
E A
I don't need love
E A
Though temptation is sweet
E F#m
Give me your hand
D A
'Til I'm back on my feet
E A
You're always telling me
E A
About my misery
E F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
D Asus2A

Don't pity me
[Verse 3]
Asus2
Focus in on the breath of a man
A G E/G#
Who takes a brown paper bag from his knapsack
A F#m
Between his whispers and wise cracks
Bsus4 B
He's looking for permission
Esus4 E
Screaming at the sky
[Chorus]

I don't need love

Though temptation is sweet

Give me your hand

Kick up a fuss again too
[Verse 4]
Asus2
Cut back again to a girl walking by
A G E/G#
Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks
A F#m
Climb an invisible soap box
Bsus4 B
Laughing at the traffic
Esus4 E
Shouting at the world
[Chorus]
E A
I don't need love
E A
Though temptation is sweet
E F#m
Give me your hand
D A
'Til I'm back on my feet
E A
You're always telling me

About my misery

I've seen things you'll never see

Don't pity me
[Outro]
(= middle 8)
C
I'll stand up again
C Asus2
Kick up a fuss again too
C
I'll be right again
C Asus2
Be upright without you
(We see a life through the eyes of a man
As he live and he dies
By a simple tattoo)
[Outro]
(= middle 8)
C
I'll be back again
C Asus2
When I land on my feet
C
I'll stand up again
C Asus2
Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you
(Well there you go, though we tried hard to know him
It's there on his face
He's a case where there's clearly no hope)
[Outro]
(= middle 8)
C
Give me your hand again
C Asus2
'Til I land again
(His face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade
And the picture we made
Is in glorious cinemascope)
C
I'll be back ...
C Asus2
I'll be back
(repeat and fade)
