[Verse]
GI must have Ahad a million Ddamn unlucky days
But there Gain't no cloud that a Abottle can't chase Daway
GI've done my Adeal of living, Dran from place to place
But when the Groof comes in I don'At wanna take it Dstraight
[Chorus]
They say with Bmfaith any F#soul can make it
But Ahell, why should I Ewait
Till the Gclouds go rain on Asome other sucker's paDrade
[Verse]
GI've had my Ashare of heartaches, Dlet downs and tricks
But the Geveryday blues is the Aone thing I can't Dfix
GI've heard those Aholy brethren, Dmuttering my name
But it Gain't no sin to Adrink when you're suffeDring
[Chorus]
Patience they Bmsay, is a F#saintly virtue,
But Ahell, why should I Ewait
Till the Gclouds go rain on Asome other suckers paDrade
Till the Gclouds go rain on Asome other suckers paDrade
[Middle]
When F#every heavy skyline just Bmempties on your fate
ESometimes keeping dry is Asomething to celebrateA7
