Sunshine On My Back chords by The National

Bm, G, A


Bm    G   A
Tina lies on the ground
             Bm
She lies there forever
   G    A
She likes the sun
F#m    G
Tina knows the devil


Bm       G    A
Tina loves the violence
             Bm
Of living in the country
   G     A
She likes that it's
F#m   G
So far from me

Em, F#, G X2
D


Bm       G    A
Tina has her story down
              Bm
I really thought I knew it
    G     A
And it changed around
  F#m    G
When I was almost through it


Em, F#, G X2
D


G       D  Em   F#m  G
Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like
G       D   Em   F#m  G
Sunshine in my brain is the lonely kind of pain
G       D   Em  F#m    G    D
  It's the sunshine     of a lonely   mind

     Bm             A         F#m  G
She says "After today then there's nothing you owe me"
      Bm              A          F#m  G
And I'm so glad that you came, I needed someone who loves me
     Em      F#m       G
But just don't try to talk yourself into this love
  Em      F#m     G
And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up
     Em      F#m     G
It's as much what you say, as it is what you don't
  Em      F#m      G      D
You can't try to stay you either will or you won't


G       D  Em   F#m  G
Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like
G       D   Em   F#m  G
Sunshine in my brain is the lonely kind of pain
G       D   Em  F#m    G    D
  It's the sunshine     of a lonely   mind


Em, F#m, G x2
Em, F#m, G, D
