Intro
[A] [Bm7/A] [A] [Asus4]
Verse 1
[D]Look out of [Am]any window
[Em]Any morning, [C]any evening, any [G]day
[D]Maybe the [Am]sun is shining
[Em]Birds are winging, no [G]rain is falling from a [A]heavy sky
Chorus
[D]What do you [G]want me to do, to [Am]do for you to [Em]see you [D]through?
For [C]this is all a [D]dream we dreamed, one [Am]afternoon long [G]ago
Verse 2
[D]Walk out of [Am]any doorway
[Em]Feel your way, [C]feel your way like the day [G]before
[D]Maybe you'll [Am]find direction
[Em]Around some corner where
[G]It's been waiting to [A]meet you
Chorus
[D]What do you [G]want me to do?
To [Am]watch for you while you're [Em][D]sleeeeeeeeping?
Then [Am]please don't be [C]surprised when you find [G]me dreaming [D]too.

Verse 3
[D]Look into [Am]any eyes
[Em]You find by you, [C]you can see clear to another [G]day
[D]Maybe been [Am]seen before through [Em]other eyes
On [G]other days while going [A]home
Chorus
[D]What do you [G]want me to do, to [Am]do for you, to [Em]see you [D]through?
It's [C]all a dream we [Em]dreamed, one [D]after-noon long [G]a-go
Verse 4
[D]Walk into [Am]splintered sunlight, [Em]inch your way through
[C]Dead dreams to another [G]land
[D]Maybe you're [Am]tired and broken, your [Em]tongue is twisted with
[G]Words half-spoken and [A]thoughts unclear
Chorus
[D]What do you [G]want me to do, to [Am]do for you, to [Em]see you [D]through?
A [Am]box of rain will [C]ease the pain, and [G]love will see you [D]through.
Verse 5
[G]Just a box of rain, [Am]wind and [Em]water
[C]Be-lieve it if you [A]need it, if you [D]don't, just pass it on.
[G]Sun and shower, [Am]wind and [Em]rain
[G]In and out the [D]window, like a [Em]moth before a [A]flame
Outro
[A]And it's [D]just a box of [Em]rain
I[Em] don't [G]know who put it [D]there;
[D]Believe it if you [Bm]need it, or [G]leave it if you [A]dare.
[A]And it's [D]just a box of [Em]rain
[Em]Or a [G]ribbon for your [D]hair
Such a long, [Em]long time to be gone
And a [G]short time to be [D]there.
