Elvis Costello – Back On My Feet chords

Chords:
Transpose:
A

AHow many days will the wet weather last?
A GI want to know will the clouds
EWhen they roll back
A F#mReveal a man in an old mac
Bsus4 BLiving on a park bench
Esus4 ESitting on his own?
ACut to the rain as it runs down the glass
G EEventually through the lightning and thunder
A F#mWe see a man going under
Bsus4 BThis is how it happens
Esus4 EThis is what he said
E AI don't need love
E AThough temptation is sweet
E F#mGive me your hand
D A'Til I'm back on my feet
E A E AYou're always telling me about my misery
E F#mI've seen things you'll never see
D ADon't pity me
AFocus in on the breath of a man
A GWho takes a brown paper bag
EFrom his knapsack
A F#mBetween his whispers and wise cracks
Bsus4 BHe's looking for permission
Esus4 EScreaming at the sky
E AI don't need love
E AThough temptation is sweet
E F#mGive me your hand
D A'Til I'm back on my feet
E A E AYou're always telling me about my misery
E F#mI've seen things you'll never see
D ADon't pity me
C I'll be right again
ABe upright without you
C I'll stand up again
AKick up a fuss again too
ACut back again to a girl walking by
G EUntil the feet that are all shoes and no socks
A F#mClimb an invisible soap box
Bsus4 BLaughing at the traffic
Esus4 EShouting at the world
E AI don't need love
E AThough temptation is sweet
E F#mGive me your hand
D A'Til I'm back on my feet
E A E AYou're always telling me about my misery
E F#mI've seen things you'll never see
D ADon't pity me
C I'll stand up again
AKick up a fuss again too
C I'll be right again
ABe upright without you
AWe see a life through the eyes of a man
As he live and he dies By a simple tattoo
C I'll be back again
AWhen I land on my feet
C I'll stand up again
AKick up a fuss again, wouldn't you
AWell there you go, though we tried hard to know him
It's there on his face He's a case where there's clearly no hope
C Give me your hand again
'Til I land again
AHis face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade And the picture we made Is in glorious cinemascope
C A I'll be back...
