-doo, [F#m] doo-doo-doo [B]-doo-doo-doo-doo,
[A]
waiting for [B] the sun [E] to shine.
[B] And you know [A] sometimes it [E] gets so painful, alright,
[B] I [A] just like talking [E] to yourself.

[A] Every day we hear [E] it through the grapevine.
It's all [B] right, sunshine, [A] it's hard to hear it through the [E] grapevine anymore.
[B] Cause here through the [A] grapevine, it's [E] just a dirty rotten [C#m] waste of time.
We go [F#] do-do-do [B]-do-do-do [F#]-do, [E] do-do-do-do [B]-do-do-do.
[A] While we're waiting for the [B] sun to [E] shine,
