E
I can't sleep tonight
C#m
Everybody saying everything's alright
E
Still I can't close my eyes
C#m                                          A
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
       B
Sunny days
A               B
Where have you gone?
   A        E/G#     F#m7         Bsus4 B
I get the strangest feeling you belong.

Chorus:
E                   B
Why does it always rain on me?
A       E/G#     F#m7
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
E                   B
Why does it always rain on me?
A             E/G#
Even when the sun is shining
F#m7
I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Oh where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Chorus

C#m                 E          C#m
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
               E          D A/C#  Bm7
And why is it raining so?
     D/A  Bsus4 B
It's so cold

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Chorus

Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold

Chorus

Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....
Oh oh
