Verse 1: 
 
     C 
I've always played  
the fool around here 
     G                C 
I'm starting to worry that 
  F 
I rush through life  
   C 
forgetting to breath 
   G                      C 
We all need some time to adapt 
 
 
Refrain 1:
 
F  Em  F G   Am   G Am G 
No one understands 
F  Em  F G   Am   G Am 
No one understands 
     G    C 
What it's like 
 
 
Post-Chorus: F Em F G Am G Am G (3x) C (2x) 
 
 
Verse 2:
 
  C 
I had high hopes of  
silver and gold 
  G 
I thought this could  
               C 
change for the best 
   F 
My mom always said I  
    C 
was named for a saint 
    G 
But I never felt  
      C 
I was blessed

C               G     F 
I got your cure right here 
   C                  G  F 
Is that what you want to hear? 
     Am 
I've played the fool 
too many times 
          F 
I've been catching up 
For all my life 
       C 
And it seems 
   G    F 
It gets harder to 
  C        G 
believe it gets 
F             Bb A 
harder but Be ho-nest 
       Dm 
If the sun don't shine 
  G7              C 
tomorrow we'll survive 
 
 
Verse 3:
 
  C 
I turn this up as  
loud as it goes 
       G 
And it ain't doing  
             C 
much for the pain 
     F 
It's up to me and  
    C 
the heart on my sleeve 
G 
That hasn't  
               C 
quite been the same

harder but Be ho-nest

If the sun don't shine

tomorrow we'll survive 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
Fm                  C 
  I'm in a field of landmines 
  E              F 
A cruise ship to hell 
      C                   G 
O but I don't think about that 
                Am        F 
It's so hard to find help these days 
     C          E           F 
When everyone's counting on me 
        G     Am Bb  C 
But I'm burnt al-rea-dy 
 
 
Chorus 3:
 
D               A     G 
I got your cure right here 
   D                  A  G 
Is that what you want to hear? 
     Bm 
I've played the fool 
too many times 
          G 
I've been catching up 
For all my life 
       D 
And it seems 
   A    G 
It gets harder to 
  D        A 
believe it gets 
G             C  B 
harder but Be ho-nest 
       Em 
If the sun don't shine 
  A7 
tomorrow 
       Em 
If the sun don't shine 
  A7 
tomorrow

If the sun don't shine
