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

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon
Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece
Crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased

Chorus:
            Em
He catches raindrops from his window,
                   G      D
it reminds him of how we fall
          Em
From the stars back to our cities
                   G        D
where we've never felt so small
Em
Raindrops from his window,
               G       D
making puddles in his hands
             Em
He sees how quick the water's
                   G        D
rising as another raindrop lands

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
