He had a need to discover a use for his newly found wealth. G/D D D C/G C/G C/G G G Because he was human, because he had goodness, G/D D D C/G C/G C/G G/D Because he was moral they called him insane. G/D D D C/G C/G G G Delusions of grandeur, visions of splendor, G/D D C/G C/G G/D A manic depressive, he walks in the rain. G/D D C/D D G/D D D C/D D CaddD Eyes wide open, heart undefended... innocence untarnished. [Riff 5] x1 /w lyrics: D A Bm E Cinderella man doing what you can. Am G They can't understand what it means.

And a look in the eyes of the hungry, awakened his to what he could do. G/D D D C/G C/G C/G G G He held up his riches to challenge the hungry. G/D D D C/G C/G G/D Purposeful motion for one so insane. G/D D D C/G C/G G They tried to fight him, just couldn't beat him. G/D D C/G C/G G/D This manic depressive who walks in the rain.
