Capo 2nd fret
[Verse]
C Em
Kicking a bottle down an empty street
Am7 F
Where the trees grow tall and the old folks sleep
C Em
We walked long when we were young
Am7 F
'Cause we read no metaphor in the setting sun
[Chorus]
C Em
You don't have to sing a sunny day
Am7 F
You can be done with it and walk away
C Em
No lonesome melodies, you're far from harm
Am7 F
No heart and arrow burning on your arm
[Verse 2]
C Em
We dreamed we were anarcho-nudists
Am7 F
But we were only college students
C Em
Counting our blessings on the north dorm lawn
Am7 F
Fully enamored of our boho charm
[Chorus]
C Em
You don't have to sing a sunny day
Am7 F
You can be done with it and walk away
C Em
No lonesome melodies, you're far from harm
Am7 F
No heart and arrow burning on your arm
[Bridge]
Em
What simple joy just not to think
F
Make origami, save the ink
Em
All monologues must reach an end
F Fm
You'll fall in love again
[Chorus]
C Em
You don't have to sing a sunny day
Am7 F
You can be done with it and walk away

No lonesome melodies, you're far from harm
Am7 F
No heart and arrow burning on your arm
