Verse lyrics:
1st:
I wonder what it's like to be the rain-maker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made
The rain.......yeah...
2nd:
(I wonder what it's like to be a superhero)
(I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around)
(Downtown.......yeah)
3rd:
(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. (Just what I said).)

Gtr 1: (Play at end of Prechorus)

1st:
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you could come and see them when I'm done
When I'm done.......... *To verse*
2nd:
(From some other planet I get this funky high on a yellow
Sun; Boy I bet my friends would all be stunned.
Their stunned) *To Chorus*
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
My tone.... *to chorus*
1st Chorus:
Gtr 2:
Rhy. Fig 3
(Yeah....)
[A#5]Straight up, [G5]what did you [F5]hope to learn about here?
[A#5]If I was someone [G5]else, would this all [F5]fall apart?
[A#5]Strange, where were you [G5]when we [F5]started this gig?
[A#5]I wish the [F5]real [G5]world would j[F5]ust stop [A#5]hasselin me.
Riff A (Gtr 1)
And you, and me, and you, and me...
Gtr 1:
Riff C:
    [A#5]             [G5]             [F5]                                                 
e|-------------------------------------|

A|-13------13----17--17-----15--15-----|
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]Straight up, [G5]what did you [F5]hope to learn about here?
[A#5]If I was someone [G5]else, would this all [F5]fall apart?
[A#5]Strange, where were you [G5]when we [F5]started this gig?
[A#5]I wish the [F5]real [G5]world would j[F5]ust stop [A#5]hasselin me.
[A#5]Please don't change, [G5]please don't break
[F5]Well the only thing that seems [A#5]to work at all [G5]is [F5]you
A#5 G5 Riff A
Please don't change at all... from me... to you.. and
You.... to me.... yeah......
Solo:
Gtr 2 plays A#5 and G5 in the background
Gtr 1: (Strum each chord /////)
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|-10--13-16-18-14-15-12-16-19-17-13-12-10-10-10-----|
G|--9--12-15-17-13-14-11-15-18-16-12-12-10--9--9-----|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|

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]Straight up, [G5]what did you [F5]hope to learn about here?
[A#5]If I was someone [G5]else, would this all [F5]just fall apart?
[A#5]Strange, where were you [G5]when we [F5]started this gig?
[A#5]I wish the [F5]real [G5]world would j[F5]ust stop [A#5]hasselin me.
[A#5]I wish the [F5]real [G5]world would j[F5]ust stop [A#5]hasselin me.
[A#5]I wish the [F5]real [G5]world would j[F5]ust stop [A#5]hasselin me.
[A#5]And you... [G5]annnnnnn[F5]d me
Fills:
After the first chorus:
Gtr 1:
Fill A:
e|-------------------------------|
B|-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13/---|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

During the third verse (head honcho) fill:
Gtr 3: acoustic
The exact strumming is hard to figure out, so I left
that to you, but the chords are:
G major, A major, F major (Barre F major).
Gtr 4: clean w/delay:
e|-----------------|
B|-7h8h9p8p7-------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|

Actually, a synth plays this, but this is pretty close.
Fill Gtr 3 during the 3rd chorus at:
A barred, F barred, G barred.
