A

[Verse 1]
A
Takin' a lot of givin' and makin' life worth livin'
    A
At a slow pace, love made it a long race
       A
Well, I can't really say things are going my way
       A          Bm                C#m         D
But the love is so pleasin', ah, the love is the reason

[Chorus]
         E                     Bm
That I've waited so long for my sun to shine
D     D/C#   Bm
Shine, shine, shine
          A                        E
Well, I've waited so long tryin' to put it in song
       D       D/C#  F#m                  E          A
Whether rise or fall, livin' ain't quite so bad after all

[Verse 2]
A
Livin' and dyin' without even tryin'
          A
Well, with some, you might find a satisfied mind
             A
Well, there's right ways and wrong ways and lots of them long days
    A                Bm              C#m              D
That makes life worth livin' when the best that you're givin'

[Chorus]
        E                      Bm
Tries to open your eyes so your sun can shine
D     D/C#   Bm
Shine, shine, shine
          A                        E
Well, I've waited so long tryin' to put it in song
       D       D/C#  F#m                  E
Whether rise or fall, livin' ain't quite so bad

[Bridge]
    D
As I wandered through the darkness, I knew
        F#m                            F
Though I wondered what I was gonna do
        Bm                       D
When the Sun started shinin' then there'd be no denyin'
        E                          F#m D E                                F#m E
That I'd have such a love of a new day, givin' some, and takin' some, too
      D                                         F#m             E         A
Now my sun shines high on every bluesy day and I know what I was going through

[Chorus]
         A          Bm                C#m         D
Well, the love is so pleasin', ah, the love is the reason
         E                     Bm
That I've waited so long for my sun to shine
D     D/C#   Bm
Shine, shine, shine
          A                        E
Well, I've waited so long tryin' to put it in song
       D             F#m                  E          A
Whether rise or fall, livin' ain't quite so bad after all
