[Intro]
A Bm7/A A Asus4
[Verse 1]
D Am
Look out of any window
Em C G
Any morning, any evening, any day
D Am
Maybe the sun is shining
Em G A
Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
[Chorus]
D G Am Em D
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
C D Am G
For this is all a dream we dreamed, one afternoon long ago
[Verse 2]
D Am
Walk out of any doorway
Em C G
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
D Am
Maybe you'll find direction
Em
Around some corner where
G A
It's been waiting to meet you
[Chorus]
D G
What do you want me to do?
Am Em D
To watch for you while you're sleeeeeeeeping?
Am C G D
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.
[Instrumental]
G Am Em C A D
G Am Em G D Em A
[Verse 3]
D Am
Look into any eyes
Em C G
You find by you, you can see clear to another day
D Am Em
Maybe been seen before through other eyes
G A
On other days while going home
[Chorus]
D G Am Em D
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
C Em D G
It's all a dream we dreamed, one after-noon long a-go
[Verse 4]
D Am Em
Walk into splintered sunlight, inch your way through
C G
Dead dreams to another land
D Am Em
Maybe you're tired and broken, your tongue is twisted with
G A
Words half-spoken and thoughts unclear
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
G Am Em
Just a box of rain, wind and water
C A D
Be-lieve it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on.
G Am Em
Sun and shower, wind and rain
G D Em A
In and out the window, like a moth before a flame
[Outro]
A D Em
And it's just a box of rain
Em G D
I don't know who put it there;
D Bm G A
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
A D Em
And it's just a box of rain
Em G D
Or a ribbon for your hair
Em
Such a long, long time to be gone
G D
And a short time to be there.
[Coda]
