A
bed clothes, why am i in bed clothes?
                 E
watching out the window
watching what i don't know
              A
on the fire escape now 
hands they start to shake now
                        E
ready for the rail to break now
and i'm awake at last awake
A
cursing, rattling and cursing
                     E
go ahead and do your worst then
                        D
your worst that i can take

CHORUS:
E                    D
oh let the rain fall down
                          A
and wash this world away
oh let the sky be grey
cause if its ever gonna get any better
its gotta get worse for a day

(verse)
morning, where am i this morning?
now its really pouring, 
crawling up this shore 
and i walk the neighborhood 
and umbrella does no good
and i guess its in my blood
couldn't stop the flood

drowning, everything is drowning
go ahead and take the town
the town is yours to take

CHORUS

calling, calling, falling, falling
grab on my guitar
and paddle with both my arms
headed where the voices are
i'll end up far so far away

CHORUS

E                         D
its gotta get worse for a day
its gotta get worse for a day
its gotta get worse for a day
i know
its gotta get worse for a day
