[Intro]
A Bm7/A A Asus4

[Verse 1]
D                   Am
Look out of any window
Em                  C                     G
Any morning, any evening, any day
D               Am
Maybe the sun is shining
Em                             G                           A
Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky

[Chorus]
D                   G                   Am                      Em              D
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
        C                D                                      Am             G
For this is all a dream we dreamed, one afternoon long ago

[Verse 2]
D                  Am
Walk out of any doorway
Em                       C                                    G
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
D                   Am
Maybe you'll find direction
Em
Around some corner where
G                            A
It's been waiting to meet you

[Chorus]
D                     G
What do you want me to do?
         Am                                    Em          D
To watch for you while you're sleeeeeeeeping?
          Am                           C                            G                D
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.

[Instrumental]
G Am Em C A D
G Am Em G D Em A

[Verse 3]
D              Am
Look into any eyes
Em                         C                               G
You find by you, you can see clear to another day
D                  Am                             Em
Maybe been seen before through other eyes
       G                                    A
On other days while going home

[Chorus]
D                    G                        Am                    Em           D
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
              C                      Em                    D          G
It's all a dream we dreamed, one after-noon long a-go

[Verse 4]
D                     Am                  Em
Walk into splintered sunlight, inch your way through
C                                   G
Dead dreams to another land
D                            Am                    Em
Maybe you're tired and broken, your tongue is twisted with
G                                        A
Words half-spoken and thoughts unclear

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
G                            Am         Em
Just a box of rain, wind and water
       C                     A                D
Be-lieve it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on.
G                      Am        Em
Sun and shower, wind and rain
G                     D                     Em               A
In and out the window, like a moth before a flame

[Outro]
A           D                  Em
And it's just a box of rain
Em           G                   D
I don't know who put it there;
D                       Bm               G             A
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.

A          D               Em
And it's just a box of rain
Em       G                   D
Or a ribbon for your hair
                     Em
Such a long, long time to be gone
            G                     D
And a short time to be there.
