verse 1 
********* 
     A 
As I wake up everyday with no new songs to play 
                                        G 
Feelin' like I ought to pack my bag and run 
   A 
My imagination flies to some other sunny skies 
                                        G 
Where I felt so good and everything was done 
BASS 
       F#m         E          G             D 
And my time was my own and my heart felt so free 

Come on

******** 
        A 
I don't mind a little rain but it doesn't seem the same 
                                             G 
When the clouds shut out your beauty from my eyes 
          A 
There's a storm inside my head and I know it doesn't lead 
                                  G 
To a clearer day when nobody will cry

         A 
So bring fire and bring steel for you know the way I feel 
                                 G 
Bring a silver horse to carry me away  
       A 
I'm no stranger I'm a friend and my pain will never end 
                                             G 
Till the world will let us live our lives as one
