Elvis Costello - Back on my feet

H^Aow many days will the wet weather last' ^AI want to know will the cl^Gouds When they roll b^Eack Reveal a m^Aan in an old m^F#mac Living on a p^Bsus4ark bench^B Sitting on his ^Esus4own' ^E

C^Aut to the rain as it runs down the glass Eventually through the l^Gightning and thund^Eer We see a m^Aan going und^F#mer This is how it h^Bsus4appens ^B This is what he s^Esus4aid ^E

^EI don't need l^Aove Though tempt^Eation is sw^Aeet G^Eive me your h^F#mand 'Til I'm b^Dack on my f^Aeet Y^Eou're always t^Aelling me ^Eabout my m^Aisery I've s^Eeen things you'll n^F#mever see D^Don't pity ^Ame

F^Aocus in on the breath of a man W^Aho takes a brown paper b^Gag From his knaps^Eack Between his wh^Aispers and wise cr^F#macks He's looking for perm^Bsus4ission ^B Screaming at the ^Esus4sky ^E

^EI don't need l^Aove Though tempt^Eation is sw^Aeet G^Eive me your h^F#mand 'Til I'm b^Dack on my f^Aeet Y^Eou're always t^Aelling me ^Eabout my m^Aisery I've s^Eeen things you'll n^F#mever see D^Don't pity ^Ame

^C I'll be right again Be upright without y^Aou ^C I'll stand up again Kick up a fuss again t^Aoo

C^Aut back again to a girl walking by Until the feet that are ^Gall shoes and no s^Eocks Climb an inv^Aisible soap b^F#mox Laughing at the traffic^{Bsus4 B} Shouting at the w^Esus4orld ^E

^EI don't need l^Aove Though tempt^Eation is sw^Aeet G^Eive me your h^F#mand 'Til I'm b^Dack on my f^Aeet Y^Eou're always t^Aelling me ^Eabout my m^Aisery I've s^Eeen things you'll n^F#mever see D^Don't pity ^Ame

^C I'll stand up again Kick up a fuss again t^Aoo ^C I'll be right again Be upright without y^Aou

^AWe 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 When I land on my f^Aeet ^C I'll stand up again Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't y^Aou

^AWell 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

^AHis face starts to fade As we pull down the shade And the picture we made Is in glorious cinemascope

^C I'll be back... ^A
