||This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research.|| All the other chords or tabs for this song are pretty much correct, but this is the exact way Conor plays the chords in the song. I figured it out from watching him play it at a show. CHORDS: (all of them are played this way throughout the entire song) C/G x G x F x G7 x Amin x D7 x D x Emin 0 x x x x 1 x x 0 0 0 2 0 2 5 4 0 2 0 3 3 2 4 5 2 3 2 3 2 0 5 5 2 3 3 x 3 x x x 0
The C/Grain, it started tapping on the wiGndow near my bed. There was a loFophole in my dreaming, so G7I got out of it. And to Aminmy surprise my eyes were wide and alrFeady open. Just my nighD7tstand and my dresser where those nighDtmares had
just been.
So I drC/Gessed myself and left them, out iGnto the gray streets. But eveFrything seemed different and compG7letely new to me. The Aminsky, the trees, houses, buildings, eFven my own body. And eachD7 person I encountered, I couDldn't wait to meet.
And I cC/Game upon a doctor who appGeared in quite poor health. I said "there is notFhing that I can do for you that you caG7n't do for yourself." He said "Oh yAmines you can. Just hold my hand. I thFink that would help." D7So I sat with him a while and then I asDked him how he felt.
He said, &quoFt;I Eminthink AminI'm cured. NoF, in Eminfact, AminI'm sure. TFhanEmink you Aminstranger, for your theraGpeutic smile."

So that is C/Ghow I learned the lesson that eveGryone is alone. And your eFyes must do some raining if you eG7ver want to grow. But when cAminrying don't help and you can't compose yourself, it's bestF to compose a poem, an hoD7nest verse of longing or a siDmple song of hope. And that's why I'm singing,C/G "Baby,don't worry, caGuse now I got your back. And every tFime you feel like crying, I'm gonna tG7ry and make you laugh. ButAmin if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we will wFait for it to pass, and ID7 will keep you company through those dDays so long and black. And we'll just keep wC/Gorking on the problem we kGnow we'll never solve, of Love's unFeven remainder, our lives are fraG7ctions of a whole." But if the woAminrld could remain within a frame like Fa painting on a wall. Then I thD7ink we would see the beauty then. We would stDand staring in
awe
at our stFill Eminlives Aminposed like a bFowlEmin of orAminanges, like a FstEminory tAminold by the faGult lines and the G7soil.
