Send In The Sun

	  		
 
G           D#  C 
Send in that sunshine 
G         D#    C 
Make everything right 
G            D#                C 
Turn on your love light 'Cause baby I’m coming on by 
G            D#  C 
Send in that sunshine 
G         D#    C 
Make everything right 
       G              D#           C 
'Cause there ain’t no suffering in life 
                        G D#        C 
That don’t ease with the passage of time 


verse 1 
G  D# 
If stars died of old age 
C 
They wouldn’t explode, they’d burn out with a slow fade 
G                D#              C 
But stars escape life with a gun shot Which makes me think they stick a pistol in their sun spot 
G                            D#     C 
Bite the barrel, squeeze the trigger, Might have cared once, but the obstacles seem bigger 
            G       D# 
And they’re stuck behind a giant 8 ball 
    C 
The milky way is star brains that are smeared across the space wall 
G            D#                      C 
You know the red giant in sector two? Yeah, Hector, true, he was a depressing dude 
G          D#                               C 
I think he thought nobody thought about him, And now that I think about it, I’m liable to guess it’s true 
G D#                       C 
Everybody wants the sun to come and cure their rough moods but suns need love too 
G          D#                       C 
I give out energy and don’t receive. I’m tired now, I’ll go to sleep 
N.C. 
And when this is the coldest solstice, maybe folks’ll notice me 


G             D# C 
Send in that sunshine 
G         D#     C 
Make everything right 
G            D#                 C 
Turn on your love light, 'Cause baby I’m coming on by 
G            D#  C 
Send in that sunshine 
G         D#    C 
Make everything right 
       G              D#           C 
'Cause there ain’t no suffering in life 
                        G D#        C 
That don’t ease with the passage of time 


verse 2 
G             D#              C 
Goodbye Maggie, Goodbye Jules, I wish you’d stuck around, you wise fools 
G                   D# 
'Cause friends they tend to come and go, 
            C 
The way the ocean ebbs and flows but there’s reminders in the tide pools 
G            D# 
But when the standing water’s putrid 
C 
Who am I to say a choice you made was stupid? 
G         D# 
There’s a bunch of us who loved you 
        C 
Fucking stuck here pointing fingers at ourselves for something you did 
G                               D# 
You you you you you packed your problems in a suitcase 
C 
You you you went away forever to a new place 
G                        D#                          C 
You left behind a lot of blue faces and bouquets and loose ends like shoelaces, But my friend, it’s too late 
G         D#                        C 
So all my lightweights and barflies, let’s raise a pint each time a star dies 
G             D# 
And toast the memory of hard lives 
C 
Filed on the interstellar hard drives and archives
