Person to person and man to man
Gm7 C7sus4 F C Bb F/A
I'm back in touch with my long lost friend
Gm7 C7 A7 Dm7
Listen to reason and understand
Eb Bb F/C C/D
And think of me from way back when
Gm7 C7 Am7 Dm7
He said, "Me and Melissa well, we fell out of love
Gm7 C7sus4 F C Bb
We ran out of luck seems like lightning struck
F/A Gm7 C7 A7 Dm7
I've been thinkin' of leavin' but I can't raise a buck
Eb Bb F/C C/D
James, I'm wondering, could I borrow your truck "
Chorus:
Gm7 C C/F
I said: "That's why I'm here" (that's why I'm here)
Bbmaj7 Gm7 C
Got no better reason

Verse 2:
Gm7 C7 Am7 Dm7
John's gone found dead he dies high he's brown bread
Gm7 C7sus4 F C Bb F/A
Later said to have drowned in his bed
Gm7 C7 A7 Dm7
After the laughter the wave of dread
Eb Bb F/C C/D
It hits us like a ton of lead
Gm7 C7 Am7 Dm7
It seems "learn not to burn" means to turn on a dime
Gm7 C7sus4 F C Bb F/A
Walk on if you're walking even if it's an uphill climb
Gm7 C7 A7 Dm7
Try to remember that working's no crime

Just don't let 'em take your wasted time

Verse 3:
Gm7 C7 Am7 Dm7
Oh, fortune and fame's such a curious game
Gm7 C7sus4 F C Bb F/A
Perfect strangers can call you by name
Gm7 C7 A7 Dm7
And pay good money to hear "Fire And Rain"
Eb Bb F/C C/D
Again and again and again

Oh, some are like summer comin' back every year
Gm7 C7sus4 F C Bb F/A

You got to tell me everything's all right
