He sits and
stares waiting
for thunder

him yesterday

like a small

F#
to fade away
As the rain
comes down he
E F# G#m F#/Bb
begins to pray
B
Now it's the dealer
C#m
has turn to fold

Cause the charade

is getting old

You can sit and
C#
wait for lightning
to strike But
G#m
the wind will
F#
takes its toll

B
He lifts his head
gets up in a daze
G#m
Out of the fog
and into a maze
F#
a maze That's
the way it
E
starts everyday
B
So it seems the
well is running
G#m
dry All he does
is look up to
F#
the sky and beg
Laughing as
they hand him
E F# G#m F#/Bb
a dead bouquet
B
