E              Bsus4                   Csus4       Bsus4
Sunshine, won't you be my mother
A2            Bsus4                    Csus4     Bsus4
Sunshine, come and help me sing
E                Bsus4                 Csus4       Bsus4
My heart is darker than these oceans
A2               Bsus4                 Csus4      Bsus4
My heart is frozen underneath

          E                                     Bsus4
We are, crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Csus4               Bsus4
Dry eyes in the pouring rain, well
A2                 Bsus4
The shadow proves the sunshine
A2                  Bsus4
The shadow proves the sunshine

E                            Bsus4
Too scared that I'll run away
Csus4                Bsus4
Hold fast till the break of day, well
A2                   B
The shadow proves the sunshine
A2                   B
The shadow proves the sunshine

E             Bsus4                 Csus4          Bsus4
Oh Lord, why did you forsake me?
A2            Bsus4              Csus4       Bsus4
Oh Lord, don't be far away
E                     Bsus4             Csus4        Bsus4
Storm Clouds gathering beside me
A2                          Bsus4                   Csus4      Bsus4
Please Lord, don't look the other way

        E                                  Bsus4
I'm a, crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Csus4                   Bsus4
Dry eyes in the pouring rain, well
A2                   Bsus4
The shadow proves the sunshine
A2                   Bsus4
The shadow proves the sunshine








E                    Bsus4
Too scared that I'll run away
Csus4   Bsus4
Hold fast till the break of day, well
A2                Bsus4
