VERSE:
 B
When rain drops
F#   E        B  Bsus4 B
 Fall  and you feel low

         F#
Ah, do you ever think it's useless
E          B     Bsus4 B
 Do you feel like letting go

Do you ever sit
F#
And do you wonder
E           B  Bsus4 B
 Will the world ever change

       F#      E
And just how long will it take
          B   Bsus4 B
To have it all rearranged


BREAK:
    G#           E    B
Tell me why these things are still the same
    G#       E           B   E
Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes


CHORUS:
     F#     E           B  Bsus4 B
Take my hand if you don't know where your goin'
      F#     E       B  Bsus4 B
I'll understand, I've lost the way myself
          F#    E        B   Bsus4 B
Oh, don't take that old road mmm it leads to nowhere
      F#   E            B  Bsus4 B
We must return before the clock strikes twelve

VERSE:
      F#
It's so easy to do nothin'
 E        B      Bsus4 B
When you're busy night and day

           F#
Take a step in one direction
   E           B     Bsus4 B
Unh unh and take a step the other way

          F#
So don't quit tryin' when you stumble
E         B       Bsus4 B
 Don't give up should you fall

     F#
Keep on searchin' for the passway
E         B       Bsus4 B
 That lead you through the wall


BREAK:
      G#        E   B
Don't look back or you'll be left behind
      G#        E          B
Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind
