Bb
bed clothes, why am i in bed clothes?
F
watching out the window
watching what i don't know
Bb
on the fire escape now
hands they start to shake now
F
ready for the rail to break now
and i'm awake at last awake
Bb
cursing, rattling and cursing
F
go ahead and do your worst then
Bb
your worst that i can take
CHORUS:
Bb D#
oh let the rain fall down
Bb
and wash this world away
F
oh let the sky be grey
D#

Bb
morning, where am i this morning?
F
now its really pouring,
crawling up this shore
Bb
and i walk the neighborhood
and umbrella does no good
F
and i guess its in my blood
couldn't stop the flood
Bb
drowning, everything is drowning
F
go ahead and take the town
Bb
the town is yours to take
CHORUS
Bb F
calling, calling, falling, falling
Bb
grab on my guitar
and paddle with both my arms
F
headed where the voices are
Bb
i'll end up far so far away
CHORUS
D# Bb
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
