[Verse 1]
       F       G         Am
I can already hear your tune
F           G          Am
Calling me across the room
          F             G             Am
When the world and his wife are on my back again
F          G         Am
Not enough pleasure, too much pain.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F                                   C             Bb
 When the world is too much with me, Please leave,  ah just go away
F                                 C             Bb
 Before I lose my mind completely, please leave   ah just go now
F                                     C            Bb
 In the sidestreet something's moving, look around,  look around
F                                   C   Bb
 All around you walls are tumbling down
      F                   G       F G Am x2
Stop staring at the ground
 
 
[Verse 2]
        F           G       Am
I can practically see your face
     F          G         Am
And another revolutionary falls from grace
           F       G       Am
Hear the thunder in your brain
F          G          Am
Not enough sunshine, too much rain
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                                C         Bb
 When the light of life has gone  No change  for the meter
F                                     C             Bb
 And then the king of spivs will come  selling blood  by the litre
F                          C   Bb
 When nothing's sacred anymore
F                                  C    Bb
 When the demon's knocking on your door
        F                       G     C
You'll still be staring down at the floor
 
 
[Chorus 1]
C  F G
 
        Am                   F    G    C     F G
Not too many hours from this hour,  so long?
     Am             F          G         C
The storm comes, or is it just another shower?
 
 
[Bridge]
C Dm F G x2
 
                      C Dm F          G
Pickin' up the pieces,     half alive in a nine till five
C      Dm   F G
Vacant eyes
                  C Dm  F            G
Is it any wonder?      Primal scream on the TV screen
C          Dm   F G
Close your eyes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F                                   C             Bb
 Now the world is too much with me,  Please leave,  ah just go away
F                                  C              Bb
 Before I lose my mind completely,  ah just leave,  oh please go now
F                         C   Bb
 Now nothing's sacred anymore
F                                    C    Bb
 When the demon's breaking down your  door
        F                       G        C
You'll still be staring down at the floor
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C  F G
 
        Am                   F     G    C     F G
Not too many hours from this  hour,  so long?
     Am             F          G         C     F G
The storm comes, or is it just another shower?
        Am                   F     G    C     F G
Not too many hours from this  hour,  so long?
         Am                F          G         C
Now the storm has come, or is it just another shower?
 
 
[Outro]
C  F G
 
Am    F          G         C     F G
   Or is it just another shower?
Am    F          G         C     F G  Am  F G  C  F G
   Or is it just another shower?
        Am                F          G         C     F G
Now the rain has come, Or is it just another shower?
Am  F G                      C
       Pickin' up the pieces ...
