But I know I won’t cry ’cause there is some bod y, some bod y, (C)some bod y wait ing for me out in the rain.
Won’t (F)cry,

I take a walk;
the streets are bus y to night and I am (Am)search ing for you, wait ing to brush your shoul der.
But I’m a lone,
I watch the fac es roll by, (Am)roll, roll, roll right (F)by me.
But I know I won’t cry ’cause there is some bod y, some bod y, (C)some bod y wait ing for me out in the rain.

I left the porch light on;
I hope it helps you to find your way.
Out side

But I know I won’t cry ’cause there is some bod y, some bod y, (C)some bod y wait ing for me out in the rain, not gon na cry to night,

Not gon na cry to night, no, no, no, no, no, no, (C)no.
