Verse 
        Bb                F 
So  I'm listening for the weather  
      Gm              D 
To predict the coming day. 
          Eb              Bb 
Leave all thought of expectation 
              F7 
To the weatherman. 
      Bb             F 
No it doesn't really matter 
        Gm           D 
What it is he has to say  
         Eb               Bb 
'Cause tomorrow's keep on blowing in 
    F7 
From somewhere. 
 
Bridge 
        Eb 
All the people that I know 
        Dsus4            D 
In the apartments down below  
                Gm       Gm7  
Busy with their starring roles 
             C7 
In their own tragedies. 
Eb       F                 Bb            
Sunlight sends you on your way  
                   Eb  
And those restless thoughts that 
               Bb  
Cling to yesterday. 
      F        Gm    
Never be afraid of change. 
     Eb 
I'll call you on the phone. 
          Dm 
I hate to leave you on your own  
        Eb                Fsus4 F 
But I'm coming home today. 
VERSE 
And this busy inner city 
Has got nothing much to say  
And I know how much you're 
Hanging 'round the letterbox. 
And I'm sure that as I'm writing  
You'll be somewhere on your way  
In a supermarket checkout 
Or a restaurant. 
 
Bridge 
I've been doing what I'm told. 
I've been busy growing old  
And the days are getting cold  
but that's alright with me. 
        Eb Dm   Cm7        Fsus F  
Yes I'm co-ming home today. 
 
Verse chords played once over while harmonica solo plays 
 
Bridge 
I've been doing what I'm told. 
I've been busy growing old  
And the days are getting cold  
But that's alright with me. 
 
{Chorus}
