 Then the same pattern all over again but play the verse part only once. 

                               Chorus 
    Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like

She says "After today then there's nothing you owe me" 
And I'm so glad that you came, I needed someone who loves me

E|-------------------3-3-3-----------------2---------------------------------| 

But just don't try to talk yourself into this love 
And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up 
It's as much what you say, as it is what you don't

G|--9---9---11----11---7---7---4---4--------| 
D|----9--------11--------5-------0----------| (x3) 
A|---7-7-7----9--9--9---5-5-5---2-2-2-------| 
E|------------------------------------------| 

 You can't try to stay you either will or you won't 
e|------------------------------------------|        e|----------|                       
B|------------------------------------------|        B|----------|

E|------------------------------------------|        E|----------|  

Then play the Chorus again. 

After the Chorus play the bridge part again but this time with a little difference
