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                 E 
Eventually through the lightning 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         A 
You're always telling me about my 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   
                     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         A 
You're always telling me about my 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                 E 
Until the feet that are all shoes 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         A 
You're always telling me about my 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...
