weatherman

               C      G/B                    Am           G/B
  I make a really bad umbrella just like I said I would
C             G/B               Am            Em
  I'm full of holes and I do not stay put
               C                        G/B             Am                  G/B
  So don't think I'm keeping you dry it just is not raining yet
                C        G/B                   Am    D/F#
  When the clouds come to our sky we'll both be soaking wet


  C     G/B    Am     G/B         C     G/B     Am     Em

  I make a really bad clothesline so don't pin your hopes on me
  Do not try to tie me tree to tree                                                            (etcetera)
  I make such a bad clothesline I would not pin nothing on me
  ÎCause when you come back for it you might find it's gone in the breeze

                  G           D/F#         Em      C              G          D/F#                 C
  And I don't know I don't know I don't know what else you expected me to say
                   G            D/F#    Em               C                     G         D/F#    C
  Because I know you know I told you long ago that it would always be this way


  I'm not a good lighthouse cause I don't always shine
  I make a safe shore so hard to find
  I make a really bad anchor just like I told you so
  Cause I tend to get dragged and then I tend to let go

                        Em            C                             G          D/F#
  And I make a really good lover when there's a clear path to the door
                Em            C                            D
  Make a really good listener when I can't talk no more
                Em            C                                G             D/F#
  I make a really good friend when there's an end in sight
                Em            C                        C
  I make a really good wrong to your right


  You say I live like I'm on ice skates going down a frozen hill
  I say baby it has always been like that maybe it always will
  And when I said that to you I did not mean to cause you pain
  But you can go ahead and blame me like you blame the weatherman for the rain

  And I don't know what else you expected me to say
  Because I know you know I told you long ago that it would always be this way

  I make a really bad umbrella just like I said I would
  I'm full of holes and I do not stay put
  So don't think I'm keeping you dry it just is not raining yet
  When the clouds come to our sky we'll both be soaking wet
