Intro: B F# B F#
B F#
Don't it always seem to hit you
B F#
Right when you feel you can lay back easy
E B F#
Those times are hard to come by
B F#
Sittin' still with nothin' on your mind
B F#
Memories are friends that you had
B F#
Once more you'll have to leave again to find them
B F# D#m
It seems like nothing till you're back home
E B/D# B F#
You took your chances with time
B F#
Well I can see you sitting easy
B F#
Rocking on your porch back and forth
E B F# B F#
Those clouds outside your doorway are moving dark and moving fast
E B/D#
But keep on rockin'
F#
Don't the rain make you lazy
B F# D#m
As long as it keeps raining
E B/D#
I'll be with you
F#
No I won't be leaving, no I won't be leaving
D#m F# B
But when the sun starts to shinin'
C#sus4
I'll be on my way
D#m F# B
My past keeps a-comin' back on me
C#sus4
You don't understand it
D#m F#/E
But I know that I didn't plan it
F#
I've taken my rest
D#m E F#
It's time to carry out the news
D#m E F#
I said front page, back page
D#m E Bsus4 F# D#m E
Have I got news for you
B/F# F#
If I can only tell you what I feel now
B/F# F#
It's been so long inside of me
B/F# F# B/F#
All the years I've been trying
F# E D#m C#
Trying just to be myself with someone else
B F#
Ain't no two ways about it
B F#
And it's so clear, so clear to me
B F# D#m
That if we really need it
E B/D# B F# D#m E
I'll count on you and you can count on me
