 Okay, let's get into it...

(repeat)
 Verse 1 & 2:
If  I could make it rain  to-day,
And  wash away this sunny  day down  to the gutter,  I
would,  justa getta change  of pace.
Things  are getting worse,  but I feel  a lot better,  and
that's  all that really  matters to me.
Amy  hit the at-mo-sphere
Caught  herself a rocket  ride out  of this gutter.  And,
she's  never coming back,  I fear.
Any  time it rains  she just feels  a lot better,  and
that's  all that really  matters to
me.  (We've waited...)
Sooooooooo-ooo-ooo-ooo long,  for
someone  to take  us back home.  It just takes...
Sooooooooo-ooo-o-o-ooo long!
Meanwhile  the days  are driftin'  a-way  and
some  of us sink  like a stoooooooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-
-ne! Waiting  for mothers  to
come.
There  has to be a change,  I'm sure.
Today  was just a day  fading into  another.  And,
that  can't be what a  life is for
The  only thing she said  was she feels  a lot better.  And,
that's  all that really  matters to
me.  'Cuz we've waited...
Soooooooo long,  for
someone  to take  us back home.  It just takes...
Soooooooo long
Meanwhile  the day’s  are driftin'  away  and
some  of us sink  like we're stoooooooo-
-one! Waiting  for mothers  to
come.
 Guitar Solo & Outro (using Intro chords):
 I wanna know,  I wanna know
 I wanna know, I  don't wanna know
 (repeat a bunch, then...)
 I wanna know,  I wanna know
All  I really know is I  don't wanna know
 (repeat a bunch, then last time play...)
 I wanna know,  I wanna know
All  I really  know is
I  don't wanna
know
