[C]
[Dm] [C]
[Dm] [C] Sunny sky sleeps [Dm] in the morning, [C] he doesn't know when [Dm] to rise.
[C] Closes his weary [Dm] eyes upon [C] the day.
Look [Dm] at him yawning, [C]
throwing [Dm] his morning hours [C] away.
He knows how [F] to ease [C] down slowly.
[G] Everything is fine in [C] the end, and [Am] you will [Dm] be pleased to [C] know.
[G] The sunny skies hasn't a friend.
[C] Sunny skies weeps in [Dm] the evening, [C] it doesn't much matter [Dm] why.
[C] I guess he just has [Dm] to cry from time [C] to time.
[Dm] Everyone's leaving, [C] sunny [Dm] skies has to stay [C] behind.
Still he knows [Dm] how [Gm] to ease [C] down slow.
Oh no, [D] [G] everything is fine [C] in the end, and you will [F] be pleased [C] to know.
[G] The sunny skies hasn't a friend.
[C] Sunny skies sleeps [Dm] in the morning, [C] he doesn't know when [Dm] to [F] rise.
[C] Closes his weary [Dm] eyes upon [C] the day,
[Dm] and throws it [C] all away.
[Dm] [C] [Dm] [G]
Looking at the [C] snow and trees [G] that grow outside my window.
[C] [Dm]
[G] Looking at the [Em] things that pass [G] me by.
[C] [Dm]
[Gm] Wondering if where [C] I've [G] been is worth the things I've been [C] through.
[G]
Ending with a friend named [C] sunny skies.
[Cm] [C]
