D
Buckets of rain, buckets of tears
D
Got all them buckets coming out of my ears
G D
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
A G F#m
He got all the love, honey
Em D
I can stand
(Repeat this structure throughout)
I been meek, hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me, honey baby
I'll be here
I like the smile on your fingertips
I like the way that you move your lips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me misery
Little red wagon, little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
I'm taking you with me, honey baby
Where I go
Life is sad, life is a bust
All you can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and you do it well
I'll do it for you, honey baby
Can't you tell
