John Mellencamp – Another Sunny Day 1225 (Guitar)

Am                      C
We see it on TV, we get calls on the phone

       G                            Am
By the prophets of doom, they won't leave us alone

    Am                          C
The planet is dying and there's no time to spare

     G                         Am
They spend all our days sowing seeds of despair

   Am                     C
We get enough bad news to harden our hearts

     G                              Am
This fear that we feed on is what's keeping us apart

   Am                               C
To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark

       G                             Am
And it don't make you right, it just keeps you in the dark

        C                           G
I don't want to live angry, I don't want to live scared

        F                           Am
I don't need no more prophets crying "brother beware."

     C                                       G
Just put some work in my hands and give me a dollar to spare

    F                      Am
And don't let me sow those seeds of despair

           Am                            C
Well, this earth is a graveyard, it will swallow our bones

       G                            Am
It was here long before us, It will be here when we're gone

           Am                   C
And it's a vain generation that looks for a sign

          G                          Am
Don't you think we could make better use of our time

          Am                           C
Yeah, the air could be cleaner and the water could too

    G                                Am
But what we do to each other are the worst things that we do

           Am                   C
And we can treasure our freedom behind our locked doors

    G                            Am
But God speed the day when we're lonely no more

        C                           G
I don't want to live angry, I don't want to live scared

        F                           Am
I don't need no more prophets crying "brother beware."

     C                                       G
Just put some work in my hands and give me a dollar to spare

    F                      Am
And don't let me sow those seeds of despair
