         Em         Bm
I never saw sunlight

Burn as bright

I never felt darkness

The way I feel it tonight

You say it's alright

       Am         Em
But I never felt darkness

Like I feel it tonight
Bm           Em
Little black heart

Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like the few things forgiven
In my little black heart

You say it's getting better

We just never got it right

Chorus

D
Some day we will shine
         Bm           E
Like the moon in the morning

Like the sun when it's dawning

Yes the sun when it's dawning
     F  G D
The sun

Some day we will shine

Yes the sun when it's dawning
     F  G F Bm
The sun

D               Em
Raindrops on my window
Bm       C          Em   C
I can't tell them apart
                     Em    Bm
Like a few things forgotten
    C              Em   C
And a few things ignored

You say it's getting better
You say it's alright

Chorus
