Intro:

C  Am  F Fm C G

 C
Well it's a most peculiar feeling
      Am
like sunburn in the evening
       F        Fm        C           G
With dark clouds on their way
           C
And you think it's most unlikely, life
       AM
could ever shine as brightly
         F                       Em
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
Em
You don't need the good times
Gm                     A7              A
Don't need anything anyone's giving (anyone's giving)
   Dm                   F                  G
and I don't mind your lies so keep on talking
             C                               Am
but do you find the change in the seasons affects you without reason
           F             Fm           C       G
you've greetings but nothing more to say
           C                                   Am
and you swear you'd feel much better if only summer last forever
         F                        Em
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  I don't mind the rain
Gm
you don't need the good times you could feel the same
Bb                          F
lean on me maybe you could see it through
              G
if you would only believe a single word is true
  C
You don't need the sunshine
Em
don't need the good times
 Gm                    A7                A
Don't need anything anyone's giving, anyone's giving
    Dm               F                     G
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking
         C                         Am
Well I throw away my sunshines, my so called little lifelines
F       Fm            C         G
Do you know what I mean?
                 C                             Am
When I decided that the answer could not be bought across the counter
       F                     Em
My sister dister has left for good
          G
Now the rain has gone away
               C
And you don't need the sunshine
Em
Don't need the good times
