feeling like myself

I'll drink too much

I'll cause a big scene

I don't care who

sees I'll be nobody

I'll be the wind
blowing through the
E
leaves When I fall

Manhood

diversion I am the
F#m
wind blowing down
E
your tree It's plain

up in flames We watch
A
the smoke rise You

E B E/G# F#m x4
You wanna be the rain
End on E
