Rainy Day Man

	  		E         D       G     F#m 
What good is that happy lie 
E       D               G  D         E 
All you wanted from the start was to cry girl 
Bm            E       A 
It looks like another fall 
Bm             E                     A 
Your  friends  don't seem to help at all 
Bm          E               A 
When you're feeling kind of cold and small 
Bm              E          A 
Call on    your rainy day man 
Bm             E        A 
It does you no good to pretend girl 
Bm            E                           A 
You've made a hole that's much too big to mend 
Bm                E                  A 
And it looks like you lose again, my friend 
Bm               E        A            
So call on your rainy day man 
F#m           E      Dmaj7      C#7 
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine 
F#m            E 
He don't chase rainbows 
Dmaj7         C#7 
He don't need good times 
F#m       E 
Grey days rolling 
Dmaj7       C#7 
Then you'll see him 
Bm    F#m 
Empty feeling 
Bm       E 
Now you need him 
Bm        E               A 
All those noble thoughts  don't belong 
Bm        E                     A 
You can't hide the truth with a happy song 
Bm            E                    A 
And  you knew where you stood all along 
Bm           E         A  
Call on your rainy day man 
F#m        E         Dmaj7          C#7 
Now simple pleasures they all evade you 
F#m          E         Dmaj7     C#7 
Store-bought treasures none can save you 
F#m     E        Dmaj7    C#7       
Ask for signs to ease the pain 
Bm  F#m 
Ask again 
          Bm       E 
Go on and pray for rain 
Bm            E       A 
It looks like another fall 
Bm             E                     A 
Your  friends  don't seem to help at all 
Bm          E               A 
When you're feeling kind of cold and small 
Bm              E          A 
Call on    your rainy day man
