[Chorus]
GSend in that D#sunCshine
GMake everyD#thing Cright
GTurn on your D#love light 'Cause Cbaby I’m coming on by
GSend in that D#sunsChine
GMake everyD#thing Cright
'Cause Gthere ain’t no D#suffering in Clife
That don’t ease with the GpD#assage of Ctime
[Verse 1]
GIf D#stars died of old age
CThey wouldn’t explode, they’d burn out with a slow fade
GBut stars escape D#life with a gun Cshot Which makes me think they stick a pistol in their sun spot
GBite the barrel, squeeze the D#triggerC, Might have cared once, but the obstacles seem bigger
And they’re Gstuck beD#hind a giant 8 ball
The Cmilky way is star brains that are smeared across the space wall
GYou know the D#red giant in sector two? CYeah, Hector, true, he was a depressing dude
GI think he D#thought nobody thought about him, CAnd now that I think about it, I’m liable to guess it’s true
GEvD#erybody wants the sun to Ccome and cure their rough moods but suns need love too
GI give out D#energy and don’t receive. CI’m tired now, I’ll go to sleep
N.C.
And when this is the coldest solstice, maybe folks’ll notice me
[Chorus]
GSend in that sD#unsChine
GMake everyD#thing rCight
GTurn on your D#love light, 'Cause Cbaby I’m coming on by
GSend in that D#sunsChine
GMake everyD#thing Cright
'Cause Gthere ain’t no D#suffering in Clife
That don’t ease with the GpD#assage of Ctime
[Verse 2]
GGoodbye MaggieD#, Goodbye Jules, CI wish you’d stuck around, you wise fools
G'Cause friends they D#tend to come and go,
The way the Cocean ebbs and flows but there’s reminders in the tide pools
GBut when the D#standing water’s putrid
CWho am I to say a choice you made was stupid?
GThere’s a D#bunch of us who loved you
Fucking Cstuck here pointing fingers at ourselves for something you did
GYou you you you you packed your D#problems in a suitcase
CYou you you went away forever to a new place
GYou left behind a lot of D#blue faces and bouquets and Cloose ends like shoelaces, But my friend, it’s too late
GSo all my D#lightweights and barflies, Clet’s raise a pint each time a star dies
GAnd toast the D#memory of hard lives
CFiled on the interstellar hard drives and archives

[Chorus]

G D# C

Send in that sunshine

Make everything right

G D# C

Turn on your love light 'Cause baby I’m coming on by

G D# C

Send in that sunshine

G D# C

Make everything right

G D# C

'Cause there ain’t no suffering in life

G D# C

That don’t ease with the passage of time

[Verse 1]

G D#

If stars died of old age

They wouldn’t explode, they’d burn out with a slow fade

G D# C

But stars escape life with a gun shot Which makes me think they stick a pistol in their sun spot

G D# C

Bite the barrel, squeeze the trigger, Might have cared once, but the obstacles seem bigger

G D#

And they’re stuck behind a giant 8 ball

The milky way is star brains that are smeared across the space wall

G D# C

You know the red giant in sector two? Yeah, Hector, true, he was a depressing dude

G D# C

I think he thought nobody thought about him, And now that I think about it, I’m liable to guess it’s true

G D# C

Everybody wants the sun to come and cure their rough moods but suns need love too

G D# C

I give out energy and don’t receive. I’m tired now, I’ll go to sleep

N.C.

And when this is the coldest solstice, maybe folks’ll notice me

[Chorus]

G D# C

Send in that sunshine

G D# C

Make everything right

G D# C

Turn on your love light, 'Cause baby I’m coming on by

G D# C

Send in that sunshine

G D# C

Make everything right

G D# C

'Cause there ain’t no suffering in life

G D# C

That don’t ease with the passage of time

[Verse 2]

G D# C

Goodbye Maggie, Goodbye Jules, I wish you’d stuck around, you wise fools

G D#

'Cause friends they tend to come and go,

The way the ocean ebbs and flows but there’s reminders in the tide pools

G D#

But when the standing water’s putrid

Who am I to say a choice you made was stupid?

G D#

There’s a bunch of us who loved you

Fucking stuck here pointing fingers at ourselves for something you did

G D#

You you you you you packed your problems in a suitcase

You you you went away forever to a new place

G D# C

You left behind a lot of blue faces and bouquets and loose ends like shoelaces, But my friend, it’s too late

G D# C

So all my lightweights and barflies, let’s raise a pint each time a star dies

G D#

And toast the memory of hard lives
