[Intro]
E A5 E A5 E B
E A5 E A5 B E

[Verse]
E
I woke there in the mornin,
A5                               E
empty bottles by my bed
A5                     E                           B
Another fcked up night I spent alone
E
And I been thinkin about changin,
A5                                         E
break your heart to see my ways
A5                     B                            E
Confessions of a broken lonely man

[Chorus]
C#
Sunny days, waste away,
A
and i’m so lost in all of this
E                                                             B
I’m just askin for your help to come a save
C#
These aching hands, make me stand,
A
a little smaller than myself
E                                                             B
Heart beating endless miles across this land
E
In these sunny days

E A5 E A5 E B

[Verse]
E
Well these days are getting longer,
A5                                         E
and the nights they see no end
A5                     E                                         B
No quarter conversation could explain
E
But i’ll be back in the mornin,
A5                                         E
can’t you wait just one more day
A5                     B                                         E
Can’t help feelin that the time’s been wearin thin

C#
Sunny days, waste away,
A
and I’m so torn by all of this
E                                                             B
I just need some understanding for a change
C#
And broken plans, make us stand,
A
a little further from embrace
E
I swear I’ll make it right,
B
I’ll make it last

[Bridge]
C#
As we run away
A5                               B
Rocky won won’t heal
C#        A5          B
As we fade away

[Verse]
E
I know I said I’d be there,
A5                                         E
and I know I said I’d stop
A5                                         E                            B
Some things just get engraved beneath the skin
E
Like the swaying of those tree tops,
A5                                         E
like the hot asphalt that calls
A5                     B                                         E
The only thing to wash away my sins

[Chorus]
C#
Sunny days, waste away,
A
but I’ve been saved by all of this
E                                                             B
I’m just asking for some time to make amends
C#
With idle hands, I cannot stand,
A
and I don’t know another way
E
My storm I can’t control,
B
my only chance
E
At these sunny days

[Outro]
E A5 E A5 E B
E A5 E A5 B E

The backbone of the song is B – E – A5 – E (II – V – I – V in A major). In solfa, that is reh – soh – doh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
