Intro: 
 
 E  E D E D E D E D   
           oooo .... .... .... ....oh     
  
 E                         D   
 All I can say is that my  life is pretty plain.    
 A                             G      E   
I  like watchin' the puddles  gather  rain.    
 E                             D   
And all I can do is just  pour some tea for two,    
 A                                               G         E E7 E E7    
And  speak my point of view but  it's not  sane, it's not sane.    
  
 E      D                 E           D   
 I just want  someone to  say to me,  oooh    
 E                D               E       D   
 "I'll always  be there when you  wake."      
 E             D                E                D   
 You know, I'd like to  keep my cheeks  dry today .    
 E             D                    E       D   
 So stay with  me and I'll have it  made.       
  
 
 E                               D   
 And I don't understand why I  sleep all day.    
        A                       G           E   
And I  start to complain that  there's no  rain.    
 E                           D   
And all I can do is read a  book to stay awake.    
    A                             G      E          E          E   
It  rips my life away, but its a  great  escape...  escape...  escape.    
 E E7 E E7 E  
..  escape...    
 
Solo: E  E D E D E D E D   
  
 E                         D   
 All I can say is that my  life is pretty plain.    
    A                                             G      E   
You don't  like my point of view. You  think that I'm in sane.    
 E                  E   
 It's not sane...   It's not sane.    
  
  
End: E D E D
