Sunny Came Home

Words & Music:

Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal

 

Bm         A           G        F#m    Bm        A           D      A

Sunny came home to her favorite room. Sunny sat down in the kitchen.

E/G#         A          G      F#m    Em         Bm          G

She opened a book and a box of tools. Sunny came home with a mission.

 

CHORUS:

           D       A       Em   Em/A        D       A    Em

She says, "Days go by, I'm hypnotized.  I'm walking on a wire.

  D        A        Em            Bm            E/G#   A   GM7

I close my eyes and fly out of my mind into the fire."

           Bm   A   D   A

Sunny came home.

 

Sunny came home with a list of names; she didn't believe in transcendence.

"It's time for a few small repairs," she said Sunny came home with a vengeance.

 

CHORUS:

 

Get the kids and bring a sweater.  Dry is good and wind is better.

Count the years, you always knew it.  Strike a match, go on and do it.

 

CHORUS:  [then sing lines below with chorus chords]

Light the sky and hold on tight.  The world is burning down.

She's out there on her own and she's alright.

Sunny came home.  Sunny came home.
