[Intro]
G Em C G
        (Sunshine)
G Em C G
        (Sunshine)

[Verse 1]
G                     Em
 I could use a little conversation
C
 Cause my heart’s been
           G
caught in isolation
G                        Em
 The little light in the dark
 could be the spark
C            G
 Of a new life (sunshine)
G
 I see you bouncing through
     Em
 the lousy weather
C
 We shake it off and keep
    G
it all together
G                           Em
 But every time when you’re gone
                      C
 I can’t wait for the dawn
                      G
You bring the good life,
 and I say

[Pre-Chorus]
C
What up, what up,
                D
 what up, what up
Em                 D
We get to live, we get to love
C
What up, what up,
                 G
what up, what up
D
 It’s time you show up

[Chorus]

Good morning, sunshine (sunshine),
          C        G
 good to see you again
          G
Cause the world ain’t pretty
              Em
 when you’re not in the city
      C            G
And I don’t have a friend
              G       Em
Good morning, sunshine (sunshine),
       C           G
when I hold your hand
         G
It’s for worst or for better
         Em
 we will both stick together
      C               G
Won’t change till the end

[Post-Chorus]
                Em
Let me see your light (light),
  G              C        G
 light (light), shine on me
                Em
Let me see your light (light),
  G              C        G
 light (light), shine on me
(sunshine)

[Verse 2]
G                     Em
 I could really use a long vacation
C                     G
 You keep waves on my medication
G                       Em
 You know you tickle my skin
when I take you in
C                   G
 I’m feeling alright (sunshine)
G
 You got me bouncing through
     Em
the lousy weather
C                      G
 My clouded heart will last forever
G                           Em
 And every time when you’re gone
                     C
I just wait for the dawn
                      G
You bring the good life, and I say
