But it's pouring rain in your dreams
               C#m
Maybe there's something in the water
             A
Making them feel out of reach

             E
When you're way down, and it's dark out
        B                               C#m
And it feels like no one's there with you, you're wrong

                 A
I'd rather be an optimist
            E
And if you lose your hope
                             B
I know the feelin' when the world keeps countin' you out

You don't have to rush to get there
           B
Don't be afraid to ask for help
         C#m
If you stand up tall
                                     A
You can break the walls that you've built up around yourself
