         E          E/F#            E/G#     A
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
         E      E/F#          E/G#     A
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

That's my soul up there



I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
B                   E           A/F#
Ther's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
B                   E             A        C#m
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
