Intro:

Em     Em/D#  x4

Verse 1:
Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
Sunrise, sunset    Sunrise, sunset
Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
Swiftly     go the days
Em       Em/D#       Em                Em/D#
Sunrise, sunset  You wake up, then you undress
   Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
It always      is the same

    Em              Em/D#            Em              Em/D#
The sunrise and the sunsets, You are lying while you confess,
     Em       Em/D#      Em        Em/D#
Keep trying         to explain
    Em              Em/D#        Em               Em/D#
The sunrise and the sunsets, You realize then you forget
                 Em     Em/D#    Em      Em/D#
What you've been trying      to retain

Em     Em/D#  x3

Chorus:
    B                          B
But everybody knows that it is all about the things
     B           B            Em   B11   B   B11
That get stuck inside of your head
         B
Like the songs your roommate sings
     B                  B                B           Em
Or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed
    B11        Em           B11
She raised her hands in the air, asked you
Em           B11           Em            B11
When was the last time you looked in the mirror?
             Em      B11      Em        B11
Cause you've changed
             Em      B11      Em        B11
Yeah, you've changed


Interlude:
Em     Em/D#  x4

Verse 2:
Em        Em/D#           Em               Em/D#
Sunrises, sunsets, you're hopeful then you regret
    Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
The circle       never breaks
       Em            Em/D#            Em                 Em/D#
With a sunrise and a sunset there's a change of heart or address
         Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
Is there nothing     that remains?

      Em           Em/D#          Em              Em/D#
For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you're depressed
         Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
Will you ever          feel o  k?
      Em           Em/D#        Em          Em/D#
For a sunrise or a sunset, your lover is an actress
        Em       Em/D#          Em       Em/D#
Did you really      think she'd stay?

      Em           Em/D#                 Em            Em/D#
For a sunrise or a sunset, you're either coming or you just left
           Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
But you're always      on the way
          Em           Em/D#     Em            Em/D#
Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet
         Em       Em/D#       Em       Em/D#
They are really      just the same

       Em              Em/D#       Em             Em/D#
To the sunrise and the sunset, the master and his servant
      Em       Em/D#       Em       Em/D#
Have exactly          the same fate
       Em            Em/D#          Em          Em/D#
It's a sunrise and a sunset, from a cradle to a casket
         Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
There is no way        to escape

    Em              Em/D#             Em             Em/D#
The sunrise and the sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet
     Em       Em/D#      Em       Em/D#
Keep putting      on the play

Em       Em/D#  x2

Chorus:
    B                    B
But everything you do is leading to the point
      B              B            Em   B11  Em  B11
Where you just won't know what to do
            B
And at that moment you may laugh
    B                          B                B           Em
But there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you
        B11       Em          B11
So it's true, the trick is complete
       Em         B11          Em          B11
Become everything you said you never would be
         Em   B11  Em  B11
You're a fool!
         Em   B11  Em  B11
You're a fool!

Em  Em/D#  x2

Verse 3:
Em       Em/D#   Em       Em/D#
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Em              Em/D#    Em   Em/D#
Sunrise and the sunsets
Em       Em/D#   Em        Em/D#
Sunrise, sunset, sunrises, sunsets
Em              Em/D#   Em       Em/D#
Sunrise and the sunsets
Em       Em/D#      Em            Em/D#
Sunrise, sunset, go home to your apartment
            Em              Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
And put the cassette in the tape deck
    Em       Em/D#     Em       Em/D#
And let that     fever play
Em       Em/D#   Em       Em/D#

Em       Em/D#         Em         Em/D#
Sunrise, sunset, where are you Arienette?
Em       Em/D#   Em       Em/D#

Em       Em/D#   Em       Em/D#
      Em
Where are you Arienette?
