Lyrics

[Verse 1]
G F#m Bm    G                    F#m
        The rain falls hard on a hum-drum town,
Bm G                              F#m Bm
    this town has dragged you down
       G                    F#m
Oh the rain falls hard on a hum-drum town,
Bm G
    this town has dragged you down.
Oh,
D
A    G
 and everybody's got to live their life,
    Bm
And God knows I've got to live mine,
    D          A                Bm D A
God knows I've got to live mine.

[Chorus]
G                  A   Bm         F#m
William, William it was  really nothing.
G                  A   Bm         F#m
William, William it was  really nothing,
Bm           E
  It was your eyes.

[Verse 2]
G                A
 How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say,
              G
Oh, would you like to marry me, and if you like,
                     A
you can buy the ring?
Bm                        F#m
She doesn't care about anything.
          G
Would you like to marry me, and if you like,
                     A
you can buy the ring?
Bm                     F#m
I don't dream about anyone
Bm         E
  except myself.

[Chorus]
G A    G
   Oh, Wiliam,
          A   Bm         F#m
William it was  really nothing.
G               A
William, William
