[Intro]
D    Dmaj7    Em    G  A
 
[Verse 1]
D                          Dmaj7
  Did you stand there all alone
   Em          G             A      D
Oh, I cannot explain what's goin' down
                         Dmaj7
I can see you standin' next to me
Em          G          A         D
In and out somewhere else right now
       Dmaj7       Bm
You sigh   look away
G             A        D
I can see it clear as day
               Dmaj7         Bm
Close your eyes    so afraid
 G                A    D
Hide behind that baby face
 
[Interlude]
D       Dmaj7       Bm  Em
Doot do do, doot-do do
 
[Chorus 1]
Bm              D         G
   You can drive  all night
                F#m                      Bm
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
               D             G
You wanna find   peace of mind
F#m
Lookin' for the answer
 
[Interlude]
D    Dmaj7    Em    G  A
 
[Verse 2]
D                          Dmaj7
  Funny how it seems like yesterday
   Em        G                A       D
As I recall you were lookin' out of place
                              Dmaj7
Gathered up your things and slipped away
    Em            G              A       D
No time at all I followed you into the hall
        Dmaj7     Bm
Cigarette daydream
 G             A     D
You were only seventeen
        Dmaj7              Bm
So sweet with a mean streak
 G                 A       D
Nearly brought me to my knees
 
[Interlude]
D       Dmaj7       Bm  Em
Doot do do, doot-do do

Lookin' for the answer
Bm                      D                   G
   If we could find a reason, a reason to change
F#m
Lookin' for the answer
Bm                     D                  G
   If you can find a reason, a reason to stay

Standin' in the pourin' rain
 
[Instrumental]
Em           A          Em             D           A
    Doot-do, do-di-do-di-do  Doot-do, do-di-do-di-do

By the way, if you're wondering what an F#maj is, I forgot to write it down- it's just a regular ol' F#.
