Lyrics

(E)All I can say is that my (D)life is pret ty plain,

I (A)like watch in’ the pud dles (G)gath er (E)rain.

And all I can do is just (D)pour some tea for two

and (A)speak my point of view but (G)it’s not (E)sane.

It’s not sane.

I just want some one to (E)say to me, (D)oh,

I’ll al ways (D)be there when you wake,

yeah.

You know I’d like to (D)keep my cheeks (E)dry to day.

So stay with (D)me and I’ll have it made.

And I (E)don’t un der stand why I (D)sleep all day

and I (A)start to com plain that (G)there’s no (E)rain.

And all I can do is read a (D)book to stay a wake,

and it (A)rips my life a way but it’s (G)a great es (E)cape.

Es cape,

es cape,

es cape.

(E)All I can say is that my (D)life is pret ty plain,

you don’t (A)like my point of view, you think (G)that I’m in (E)sane.

It’s not sane,

it’s not sane.

and I’ll have it made.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.
