Super man or Clark Kent

I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
(G) (Em)
And I may not be the man you want me to

I can be myself, How bout you?
(into main riff 2 times then into the next verse)
Well thats the basis for the whole song. If you know that much,
you can play the whole thing. This is definately my favorite
Fastball song. I think they are one of the most undrerated bands
out there. I noticed that there wasn't a lot of tabs for them so I
hope to post a few more in the future. Well that's all for now.
Enjoy!
