VERSE:

I got a drive-through coffee

Wrote a song like I always do

It was probably about some stupid boy

I wasn't thinking of you

I got a phone call from my dad

Thought he was just checking in

But as soon as I heard his voice

I knew that wasn’t it

PRE-CHORUS

Em F#m G A

It was just another day until it wasn’t

CHORUS:

The sky--y-y--y-y-y-y

D A G

Didn’t even have the decency to cry--y-y--y-y-y-y

D A G

And that damn sun still found a way to shi-i-i-ine

D A

When my heartache's hitting

I think it’s kind of cruel that the world keeps spinning

’Cause it’s not like they know
