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
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
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

Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands (2x)
