All I can say is that my
D                     Dsus4 D
Life is pretty plain
  A                         G     E
I like watching the puddles gather rain
    E
And all I can do is just
D                     Dsus4 D
Pour some tea for two
    A
And speak my point of view
    G        E
But it's not sane
E
It's not sane

(verse 1)

E           D          E
I just want someone to say to me
D
No oh oh oh
E             D              E
I'll always be there when you wake

( E D Dsus4 D  A G E )
You know I'd like to
Keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made.
(I'll have it made)

(chorus 2)
        E
(And I) don't understand why I
D             Dsus4 D
sleep all day.
      A                      G         E     E7 E E7 E
and I start to complain that there's no rain.
E
and all I can do is read a
D             Dsus4 D
book to stay awake
   A                     G              E
It rips my life away but it's a great escape
E              E             E
escape         escape        escape
