[E]Ready, three, four
[B]If I could [C#m]make it rain today
[G#m]And wash away [E]this sunny day
[A]Down to the [B]gutter, I would
[A]Just to get [E]a change of pace
[A]Things are [E]getting worse
[A]But I feel [B]a lot better
[E]And that's all that [A]really matters to me
[A]Amy hit [B]the atmosphere
[E]Caught herself [A]a rocket ride
[F#m]Out of [A]this gutter and
[E]She's never coming [A]back, I fear
[E]But any [A]time it rains
[F#m]She just feels [B]a lot better
[E]And that's all that [A]really matters to me
[E]We've waited [C#m]so long
[B]For someone to [A]take us back home
[B]It just [E]takes so long
[A]And meanwhile the [B]days go drifting away
[E]And some of us [A]sink like a stone
[E]Waiting for [A]mothers to come
[A]There has to be [E]a change, I'm sure
[B]Today was just a [G#m]day fading into another
[C#m]And that can't be [A]what a life is for
[E]The only thing she said [A]was she feels a lot better
[E]And that's all that [A]really matters to me
[E]We've waited [C#m]so long
[B]For someone to [A]take us back home
[B]It just [E]takes so long
[A]And meanwhile the [B]days go drifting away
[E]And some of us [A]sink like a stone
[E]Waiting for [A]mothers to come
[E]I wanna know, [A]I wanna know
[E]I wanna know, [A]I wanna know
[E]I wanna know, [A]I wanna know
[E]I wanna know, [A]I wanna know
[E]All I really know [A]is, I want to know
[E]And all I really know [A]is I don't want to know
[E]All I really know [A]is, I want to know
[E]And all I really know [A]is I don't want to know
[E]All I really know [A]is, I want to know
[E]And all I really know [A]is I don't want to know
[E]All I really know [A]is, I want to know
[E]And all I really know [A]is I don't want to know
[E]All I really know [A]is, I want to know
