Intro: G 

                    C                   G 
The sun is shining, making this room so bright  
             G/F# Em        C 
And the cats are  sleeping, right up on the table  
                                D 
Breaking all the rules in plain sight  
          G                   C 
There's a cloud coloured moon floating in the blue  
    Am7                        D 
Not waiting for the sun to go away  
                    G                 C 
I just wish I could walk with you and talk with you  
D                 G 
All the live long day 


                                 C                       G 
We never really had a winter, it never came and now it's gone  
             G/F# Em             C 
And the days grow longer, like a late night road  
                               D 
Like the odds you'll come back home  
    G            C 
But I don't mind wasting my time  
Am7                         D 
Waiting for the ache to go away  
             G                C 
I don't mind telling you it's what I do  
D                 G 
All the live long day 


 
        D         G 
All the live long day 
  Am     G         D 
I wonder what I'll do  
               G 
I don't see no way 
   Am      G    D 
Of getting over you 


                     G           C                       G 
The boys were in the back field, sorting out the who and when  
              G/F# Em             C 
It's like cat graf-fiti, but they read it with their nose  
                                D 
And it's written from the other end  
       G                        C 
Though James takes it in with a different spin  
   Am7                         D 
He likes to read the Sniff and Spray  
          G                C 
It's just them and me, and my ennui  
D                 G 
All the live long day 



        D         G 
All the live long day 
  Am     G         D 
I wonder what I'll do  
               G 
I don't see no way 
   Am      G    D 
Of getting over you
