I''d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you could come and see them when I''m done
{Fill Riff A 4x}
When I''m done.......... *To verse*

Sun; Boy I bet my friends would all be stunned.

3rd:
[I''d shout out an order I think were out of this man
Get me some; Boy, don''t make me wanna change my tone
{Fill Riff A 4x}

1st Chorus:
Gtr 2:

(Yeah....)
A#5 G5 F5
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
A#5 G5 F5
If I was someone else, would this all fall apart?
A#5 G5 F5
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
A#5 F5 G5 F5 A#5
I wish the real world would just stop hasselin me.

E|-------------15-----15--13------13---|
I''m sure about this part here. Whenever
Gtr 2 changes chords, so does Gtr 1 playing the
arpeggioed major chords here. Then fill Riff A
at the end.
2nd chorus: w/riff C
(Yeah....)
A#5 G5 F5
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
A#5 G5 F5
If I was someone else, would this all fall apart?

I wish the real world would just stop hasselin me.
A#5 G5
Please don''t change, please don''t break

Well the only thing that seems to work at all is you
A#5 G5 Riff A
Please don''t change at all... from me... to you.. and
You.... to me.... yeah......

This is a very weak solo attempt. It sounds
decent, though, and most people you play for
probably won''t notice if you play quickly enough.
3rd chorus: w/Riff C
(Yeah....)
A#5 G5 F5
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
A#5 G5 F5
If I was someone else, would this all just fall apart?

I wonder what it''s like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it''s like to know that I make the rain
I''d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come see them when I''m...done, when I''m
Done
I wonder what it''s like to be a super hero
I wonder where I''d go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow
Sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they''re stunned
[chorus]
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wonder what it''s like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I''d do if they all did just what I said
I''d shout out an order, I think we''re out of this man get
me some
Boy don''t make me wanna change my...tone, my tone
[chorus]
Please don''t change, please don''t break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don''t change, at all from me
To you, and you to me
