C E7 A        D                C
I,   I saw a picture of you today
E7    F     Fm
At an art exhibit
           C
On memory lane
    E7          A        D                C
You wore those bells we found on Champs-Elysees
                 E7     F
Framed like the golden masters
Fm
Forgotten all these years
Pouring like rain
A true thought appears
A#                 C  C7 Gm
Oh, the genius of pain
           C  C7 Gm
Without a name
              G# C# Fm
Pouring like rain

Chorus:
          C#         D#
Cause I'm on my back, on my back again
A#m         Cm                   A#m
Words we had to describe the same feeling
Cm            A#m    Cm
Now without a meaning
          C#        D#
Cause I'm on my back, on my back again
A#m      Cm                  G#
Looking at a hole in the ceiling

I, I watched the movie of you today
Silver screen adapted from my thoughts on Broadway
You saved the world; we lived in such harmony
Blockbuster sales in twelve countries
Remembered all these years
Falling like rain
A truth that appears
Oh, the genius of pain, oh

Chorus
