Verse:
D G
I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral
Bm G
He took the time out to be seen
D G
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch
Bm G
That he'd been given by a magazine
D G
He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon
Bm G
Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece
D G
Crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again
Bm G
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased
Chorus:
Em G D
He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall
Em G D
From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small
Em G D
Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands
Em G D
He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
Bridge:
Em Bm D D 2x
Verse:
Em D Bm
He took a chauffeur-driven car back to his hotel
Em D Bm
Passing through the city streets where he was born
Em D Bm
He said, "Driver, what's happened to these buildings?
Em D Bm
They all look rundown and so forlorn"
Em Bm D
He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse
Em Bm D
Put the 'do not disturb' on his door
Em Bm D
When the maid came in the morning
Em Bm D
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor
Chorus: 2x
Em G D
He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall
Em G D
From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small
Em G D
Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands
Em G D
He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
