The rain falls hard on a humdrum town 
Gadd9                  Dmaj7            F#m7         Bm 
This town has dragged you down 
Gadd9                  Dmaj7            F#m7         Bm 
Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town 
Gmaj7 
This town has dragged you down 
D    A         G                        A       
Oh, no, and everybody’s got to live their life 
        B                                    B/C# 
And God knows I’ve got to live mine 
Dmaj7              E             B        B/C#      Dmaj7       E

Would you like to marry me ? And if you like you can buy the ring 
Bm                             F#+ 
She doesnt care about anything 
G                        D

And if you like you can buy the ring

I dont dream about anyone - except myself ! 
G    D    G         A    Bm    F#+      Bm    Bm7M    Bm7     E9
