Intro: (Spoken) 

Dm                       Am7 
 You ever want something that you know you shouldn't have? 
Dm 
 The more you know you shouldn't have it; the more you want it. 
                     Am7     Dm 
And then one day you get it; it's so good to you. 

Dm 
 But it's just like my girl; 
Am7                    Dm 
 When she's around me, I just feel so good, so good. 
                          Am7 
But right now I just feel cold, so cold, 
                 Dm         (n.C) 
Right down to my bones. 'Cos ooh... 

verse 1: 

(n.C)                         Dm   Am  C 
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, 
Dm        Am   C            Dm  Am  C 
 It's not warm when she's a-way. 
Dm        Am       C          Am7 
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, 
                          Gm                        Dm   Am  C, Dm (n.C) 
And she's always gone too long, any time she goes a-way. 

verse 2: 

C                             Dm   Am  C 
 Wonder this time where she's gone, 
Dm      Am       C       Dm    Am  C 
 Wonder if she's gone to stay? 
Dm        Am       C          Am7 
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, 
                             Gm                        Dm  Am  C, Dm (n.C) 
And this house just ain't no home, any time she goes a-way. 

Break: 

Dm (n.C) 
 I know, I know, I know, I know, 
Gm (n.C)                         Dm (n.C) 
 I know, know, know, know, know, I know, I know. 
                Gm                            A7 
Hey, I ought to leave, I ought to leave her a-lone; 
                             Dm   Am  C 
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. 

verse 3: 

Dm        Am       C          Dm   Am  C 
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, 
Dm    Am       C     Dm  Am  C 
 Only darkness every day. 
Dm        Am       C          Am7 
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, 
                             Gm                        Dm  Am  C, Dm (n.C) 
And this house just ain't no home, any time she goes a-way.
