[VERSE 1]
G Em7 C AmHow come the sun didn’t make it today?
G Em7 F D7 Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on?
G Em Am Am7Could it be God didn’t wake it today?
DYou couldn’t blame him
D7 G Em Am DSometimes it feels like the sun just comes up out of habit
G Em Am D And goes down as quick as it can
G Em Am D Em These days you just have to grab it as it goes by
[VERSE 2]
G Em7 C AmHow come the stars didn’t come out tonight?
G Em7 F D7 Are they tired of what they’ve been shining down on?
G Em Am Am7Could it be God had a few doubts tonight?
DYou couldn’t blame him
D7 G Em Am DSometimes it seems like the stars are just going through motions
G Em Am D They don’t see the point of it all
G Em Am D Em They shine, shine, but you get the notion, they wonder why
[BRIDGE]
E AMaybe the sun saw everyone pulling his neighbor’s hair
E AHe couldn’t rise without the skies filling with filthy air
Am B B7Do you suppose that he knows? That he knows, but he won’t tell us
[VERSE 3]
G Em7 C AmHow come the moon just won’t rise up and shine?
G Em7 F D7 Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on?
G Em Am Am7Could it be God couldn’t make up his mind?
DYou couldn’t blame him
D7 G Em Am DSometimes it feels like the moon’s heart just isn’t in it
G Em Am D It gives less than all of its light
G Em Am D Em It shines, shines, but just when it’s greatest, it starts to die
