[INTRO]~
G F Em F G F Em F
[VERSE 1]~
G Em7 C Am
How come the sun didn’t make it today..?
G Em7 F D7
Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on..?
G Em Am Am7
Could it be God didn’t wake it today..?
D
You couldn’t blame him
D7 G Em Am D
Sometimes it feels like the sun just comes up out of habit
G Em Am D
And goes down as quick as it can
G Em Am D Em
These days you just have to grab it as it goes by
[VERSE 2]~
G Em7 C Am
How come the stars didn’t come out tonight..?
G Em7 F D7
Are they tired of what they’ve been shining down on..?
G Em Am Am7
Could it be God had a few doubts tonight..?
D
You couldn’t blame him
D7 G Em Am D
Sometimes it seems like the stars are just going through motions
G Em Am D
They don’t see the point of it all
G Em Am D Em
They shine,.. shine,.. but you get the notion,.. they wonder why
[BRIDGE]~
E A
Maybe the sun saw everyone pulling his neighbor’s hair
E A
He couldn’t rise without the skies filling with filthy air
Am B B7
Do you suppose that he knows..? That he knows,.. but he won’t tell us
[VERSE 3]~
G Em7 C Am
How come the moon just won’t rise up and shine..?
G Em7 F D7
Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on..?
G Em Am Am7
Could it be God couldn’t make up his mind..?
D
You couldn’t blame him
D7 G Em Am D
Sometimes it feels like the moon’s heart just isn’t in it
G Em Am D
It gives less than all of its light
G Em Am D Em
It shines,.. shines,.. but just when it’s greatest,.. it starts to die
[INTERLUDE]~
