Don't Need The Sunshine

(Powell / Catatonia), International Velvet (1998)
C a F f C G


            C
Well it's a most peculiar feeling
     a
Like sunburn in the evening
     F           f        C    G
With dark clouds on their way
        C
And you think it's most unlikely
           a
Life could ever shine as brightly
         F                    C
Once the sun has gone and the pressure's on
        G
And the rain is here again


        C
But you don't need the sunshine
e
Don't need the good times
d                   d7
Don't need anything anyone's giving
    F                                 G
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking


       C
Do you find the change in season
a
Affects you without reason
       F             f               C    G
You've greetings but nothing more to say
        C
And you swear you'd feel much better
        a
If only summer'd last forever
        F                       C
But the sky is clear and you're nowhere near
        G
And the rain is here again


        C
But you don't need the sunshine
e
Don't need the good times
d                          d7
Lean on me maybe you could see it through
             F                     G
If you would only believe a single word is true


        C
But you don't need the sunshine
e
Don't need the good times
d                   d7
Don't need anything anyone's giving
    F                                 G
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking


  C
I throw away my sunshines
   a
My so-called little lifelines
F      f           C      G
Do you know what I mean
       C
When I decided that the answer
             a
Could not be bought across the counter
   F               C
My sista dista has left for good
        G
Now the rain has gone away


        C
And you don't need the sunshine
e
Don't need the good times
d                   d7
Don't need anything anyone's giving
    F                                 G
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking
