Bm A G F#m
Sunny came home to her favorite room
Bm A D A
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
E A G F#m
She opened her book and a box of tools
Em Bm G
Sunny came home with a mission
D A Em G
She says days go by I'm hypnotized
D A Em
I'm walking on a wire
D A G Bm E A
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Gmaj7
Into the fire
Bm A G F#m
Sunny came home with a list of names
Bm A D A
She didn't believe in transcendence
G A Bm F#m
And it's time for a few small repairs she said
Em Bm G
Sunny came home with a vengeance
D A Em G
She says days go by and don't know why
D A Em
I'm walking on a wire
D A G Bm E A
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Gmaj7
Into the fire
F#m G
Get the kids and bring a sweater.
F#m G
Dry is good and wind is better
F#m G
Count the years, you always knew it
F#m G
Strike a match, go on and do it
D A Em G
Oh days go by I'm hypnotized
D A Em
I'm walking on a wire
D A G Bm D
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
A Em
Into the fire
D A Em G
Light the sky and hold on tight
D A Em
The world is burning down
D A G Bm E A
She's out there on her own and she's alright
Gmaj7 E
Sunny came home
Bm
Sunny came home
