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 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 (2x)
Outro: Em Bm D D (4x) Em D Bm G A D
