Back On My Feet

A

 A
How many days will the wet weather 
last?
A                         G
I want to know will the clouds
                E
When they roll back
          A             F#m
Reveal a man in an old mac
             Bsus4    B
Living on a park bench
               Esus4   E
Sitting on his own?

 A
Cut to the rain as it runs down the 
glass
                        G          
Eventually through the lightning 
       E
and thunder
          A           F#m
We see a man going under
                Bsus4  B
This is how it happens
                 Esus4  E
This is what he said

E             A
I don't need love
            E          A
Though temptation is sweet
 E            F#m
Give me your hand
          D          A
'Til I'm back on my feet
 E             A         E        
You're always telling me about my 
 A
misery
      E                  F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
 D         A
Don't pity me

 A
Focus in on the breath of a man
 A                       G
Who takes a brown paper bag
              E
From his knapsack
              A                 F#m
Between his whispers and wise cracks
Continues after the ad
                     Bsus4  B
He's looking for permission
                 Esus4  E
Screaming at the sky

E             A
I don't need love
            E          A
Though temptation is sweet
 E            F#m
Give me your hand
          D          A
'Til I'm back on my feet
 E             A         E        
You're always telling me about my 
 A
misery
      E                  F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
 D         A
Don't pity me

C
 I'll be right again
                    A
Be upright without you
C
 I'll stand up again
                      A
Kick up a fuss again too

 A
Cut back again to a girl walking by
                        G        
Until the feet that are all shoes 
         E
and no socks
            A            F#m
Climb an invisible soap box
                       Bsus4  B
Laughing at the traffic
                 Esus4  E
Shouting at the world

E             A
I don't need love
            E          A
Though temptation is sweet
 E            F#m
Give me your hand
          D          A
'Til I'm back on my feet
 E             A         E        
You're always telling me about my 
 A
misery
      E                  F#m
I've seen things you'll never see
 D         A
Don't pity me

C
 I'll stand up again
                      A
Kick up a fuss again too
C
 I'll be right again
                    A
Be upright without you

A
We see a life through the eyes of a 
man
As he live and he dies
By a simple tattoo
C
 I'll be back again
                   A
When I land on my feet
C
 I'll stand up again
                                A
Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you

A
Well there you go, though we tried 
hard to know him
It's there on his face
He's a case where there's clearly no
 hope
C
 Give me your hand again

'Til I land again
A
His face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade
And the picture we made
Is in glorious cinemascope

C                  A
 I'll be back...
