[F] When the world is too much with me
[C] Please leave, just go a[Bb]way
[F]Before I lose my mind completely
[C]Please leave, just go no[Bb]w
[F]In the sidestreet something's moving
[C]Look around, look around[Bb]
[F]All around you
Walls are tumbli[C]ng down[Bb]
[F]Stop staring at the ground[G]
I can prac[F]tically see your face[G][Am]
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough
much rain
[F] When the light of life has gone
[C]No change for the meter[Bb]
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor

Not too many hours from this hour
So long'
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?
Now the rain has come
The rain has come
