Cm                        Fm
The sun never shone that day
         C#             Cm      D#
From an early dawn the sky was grey
Cm                        Fm
I never should've walked away
    C#                    Cm      D#
I know that now, but i'm here to say :
C7                Fm
Everybody walks away
C7                  Fm
Everybody's led astray
C7                       Fm
Breaking every plan to stay
    D#     C#       C7
It happens all the time

The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should've walked away
I see that now, but it's hard to show
Everybody'got to go
Everybody tells you so
Everybody wants to know
Why it happens all the time

Chorus:
F        D#      A#
I can't see the point of turning
 C7                F
everything upside down
I can't see the point of greeting
everything with a frown
I can't see the point of painting
everything black or white
I can't see the point of leaving
                  Fm
everyone full of doubt

The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should've walked away
I know that now, but i'm here to say :

Everybody holds their own
Everybody lives alone
Everybody hogs the phone
It happens all the time

Everybody feels the strain
Everybody holds the pain
Everybody stays the same
It happens all the time

Chorus

The sun never shone that day
The sun never shone that day
