How Come The Sun

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

You couldn’t blame him

  And goes down as quick as it can
