D             A            D     Em A
Some day some old familiar rain........
D                           Em
will come along and know my name. 
A        D  A               Am7   B
And then my shelter will be gone........
Em       A            D
and I'll have to move along. 
          Gbm Em        D      Bm     Em
But til I do  I'll stay awhile....and track 
           A               D     A D
the hidden country of your smile.

Some day the man I used to be.....will come

along and call on me. 
    Em     A                Am7  F B     Em
And then because I'm just a man..........you'll 
        A                D
find my feet are made of sand. 
              Gbm       Em       D
But till that time I'll tell you lies  
Bm  Em               A
and chart the hidden boundaries of your 
D  ................Bb
eyes.
