*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: F)


Intro:

(Spoken):

Dm
 You ever,
Want something,
Am7
 That you know,
You shouldn't have?
Dm
 The more you,
Know you,
Shouldn't have it;
The more,
You want it.
And then one day;
Am7
 You get it,
Dm
 It's so,
Good to you.

Dm
 But it's just,
Like my girl,
Am7
 When she's,
Around me,
Dm
 I just feel,
So good,
So good.
But right now,
            Am7
I just feel cold,
So cold,
Right down,
Dm
 To my bones,
    (n.c)
'Cos ooh...

Verse 1:

(n.c)
 Ain't no sunshine,
           Dm    Am  c
When she's gone,
Dm        Am
 It's not warm,
c             Dm   Am  c
 When she's a-way.

Dm        Am
 Ain't no sunshine,
c           Am7
 When she's gone,
And she's always,
         Gm
Gone too long,
Anytime she,
       Dm   Am  c, Dm (n.c)
Goes a-way.

Verse 2:

c
 Wonder this time,
            Dm    Am  c
Where she's gone,
Dm      Am
 Wonder if she's,
c        Dm   Am  c
 Gone to stay.

Dm        Am
 Ain't no sunshine,
c           Am7
 When she's gone,
And this house,
              Gm
Just ain't no home,
Anytime she,
       Dm   Am  c, Dm (n.c)
Goes a-way.

Break:

Dm (n.c)
 I know, I know,
I know, I know,
Gm (n.c)
 I know, know,
Know, know, know,
Dm (n.c)
 I know, I know.
Hey I ought,
   Gm
To leave,
I ought to,
            A7
Leave her a-lone;
Ain't no sunshine,
           Dm    Am  c
When she's gone.

Verse 3:

Dm        Am
 Ain't no sunshine,
c           Dm    Am  c
 When she's gone,
Dm    Am
 Only darkness,
c      Dm   Am  c
 Every day.

Dm        Am
 Ain't no sunshine,
c           Am7
 When she's gone,
And this house just,
         Gm
Ain't no home,
Anytime she,
       Dm   Am  c, Dm (n.c)
Goes a-way.
