E
Good-day sunlight
D                                    C#m
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
                      D
You don't know me but I know you, see
                     E
You're my favorite star
        D
Follow you I will so let’s get moving

Chorus:
C#m                         F#
Who needs shelter when the morning’s coming?
C#m                   F#
G#solutely there's no one
C#m                        F#
Who needs shelter from the sun?
C#m                F#
Not me, no, not anyone.

By your clock, the cock rooster crows
Then off to work where everybody goes
Slow, but eventually they get there
Picking up the day shift back where all left off
Confined and pecking at relationships
You know it's only a worthless piece of shit

Chorus

Bm           F#      Bm                 F#
I'd sleep it all away but the sun wont let me
Bm             F#         F#m A   E
I'd miss those lovely days of summer

Good-day sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me, but I know you
You're my favorite
