The Things I Notice Now


Em C Em Rained again last night, streets are slowly dryin'. C Em Sunlight's not too bright, I don't believe it's tryin'. Am Em I never used to care; it wouldn't cross my mind. C D7 Em You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

The mailman's overdue; man upstairs is typin'.
My neighbor has the flu, and his wife has started gripin'.
I never used to care; it wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.


Em C Em I'm sittin' in my window seat, just watchin' my day walk by. C Em There's a lot of people I should meet, if I could find a reason why. Am Em There's a whole lot of things I oughta get up and do, B7 Like finding you.

Morning streets are jammed, taxi driver's swearin'.
I think his rage is shammed - he looks like he's past carin'.
I never used to care; it wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

I'm going to get myself in line, I'm gonna get a hold on things.
I'm probably gonna be just fine; we'll see what tomorrow brings.
There's a whole lot of things I gotta get up and do,
Like finding you!

Rained again last night, streets are slowly dryin'.
Sunlight's not too bright, I don't believe it's tryin'.
I never used to care; it wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1969)
