Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

CRUEL LIGHT OF DAY - Del Amitri
Intro:
Gm - C7 - G7 - Gm13 2x
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
Someone's opening up for business
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
The morning rains the same old way
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
But someone should've taught me for - giveness
Cadd4 F G5
Now I see it in the cruel light of day
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
Telling me he's done me a kindness
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
She was going to leave any - way
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
But love is such sweet po - liteness
Cadd4 F G5
Till you see it in the cruel light of day
C7 C7sus4
Last night was just a comedy
C7 C7sus4 Gm Gm
And I woke up like a walking trage - dy
C7 C7sus4
And it was right in front of me
C7 C7sus4 Dm7 Dm7
But I just laughed and turned my eyes a - way
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
So pour me an - other cup of coffee
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
I ain't ever seen the city look so grey
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness
Cadd4 F G5
Ain't no jewels in the cruel light of day
Break:
Gm - C7 - G7 - Gm13 2x
C7 C7sus4
No I ain't some ac - cessory
C7 C7sus4 Gm Gm
She can slip off from her back and just fold a - way
C7 C7sus4
I don't need no-one un - dressing me
C7 C7sus4 Dm7 Dm7
When I wake up in the same suit every day
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
So someone's opening up for business
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
The shutters roll so familiar - ly
Gm C7 G7 Gm13
And out of darkness comes re - lief, sing the witless
Cadd4 F G5
But I don't see it in the cruel light of day
Cadd4 F
No I don't see it in the cruel
G5
