[Intro]
A       D
[Verse]
Look out of Amany window
EmAny morning, Cany evening, any GdayD  
Maybe the Amsun is shining
EmBirds are winging, no Grain is falling from a Aheavy skyD  
[Chorus]
What do you Gwant me to do
To Amdo for you to Emsee you Dthrough?
For Cthis is all a Ddream we dreamed
One Amafternoon, loGng agoD  
[Verse]
Walk out of Amany doorway
EmFeel your way, Cfeel your way like the day beGforeD  
Maybe you'll Amfind direction
AEmround some corner, where Git's been waiting to Ameet youD  
[Chorus]
What do you Gwant me to do
To Amwatch for you while Emyou're Dsleeping?
Then Amplease don't be surCprised
When you Gfind me Ddreaming too
[Instrumental]
G     Am  Em  C  A  D
G     Am  Em  G  D  Em  A      D
[Verse]
Walk into Amsplintered sunlight
EmInch your way through Cdead dreams to another GlandD  
Maybe you're tiAmred and broken
Your Emtongue is twisted with the Gwords half spoken Aand the thoughts unclearD  
[Chorus]
What do you Gwant me to do
To Amdo for you, to Emsee you Dthrough
A Ambox of rain will Cease the pain
And Glove will see you DthroughG  
[Bridge]
Just a box of rain, Amwind and Emwater
BeClieve in it if you A7need it
If you Ddon't just pass it onG  
Sun and shower, Amwind and Emrain
CIn and out the Dwindow
Like a Emmoth before the Aflame
And it's Djust a box of Emrain
I don't Gknow who put it Dthere
Believe it if you Bmneed it
Or Gleave it if you dAare
And it's Djust a box of Emrain
Or a Gribbon for your Dhair
Such a Emlong, long time to be gone
And a Gshort time to be Dthere

To do for you to see you through?

For this is all a dream we dreamed

Am G D

One afternoon, long ago

[Verse]

Walk out of any doorway

Em C G D

Feel your way, feel your way like the day before

Maybe you'll find direction

Em G A D

Around some corner, where it's been waiting to meet you

What do you want me to do

Am Em D

To watch for you while you're sleeping?

Then please don't be surprised

When you find me dreaming too

Walk into splintered sunlight

Inch your way through dead dreams to another land

Maybe you're tired and broken

Your tongue is twisted with the words half spoken and the thoughts unclear

And love will see you through

Sun and shower, wind and rain

In and out the window

Like a moth before the flame

I don't know who put it there

Believe it if you need it

Or leave it if you dare

D Em

And it's just a box of rain

Or a ribbon for your hair

Such a long, long time to be gone

G D

And a short time to be there
