[Verse 1]
C       G        Bb      F             C
October came and with it came the rain
       G         Bb     F     C
And so I write my song in red
          G
It wasn't anything new
         Bb          F    C
There was nothing to tell
         G               Bb  F
He meant everything to me

[Chorus]
C           G           Bb     F
How can the sun shine like any other day?
C           G               Bb   F  C
How can the world turn this way?

[Verse 2]
            G               Bb
If I'd have known the day before
        F                    C
Was the last time we'd speak
         G                 Bb  F  C
I'd have held you close to me

[Verse 3]
       G             Bb
When I saw you lying
              F                    C
You looked as if you were sleeping
           G                   Bb  F
Now you're gone it feels so cold

[Chorus]
C           G           Bb     F
How can the sun shine like any other day?
C           G               Bb  F
How can the world turn this way?

[Out-Chorus]
C           G           Bb     F
How can the sun shine like any other day?
C           G               Bb  F
How can the world turn this way?
C           G           Bb     F
How can the sun shine like any other day?
C           G               Bb  F
How can the world turn this way?
C           G           Bb     F
How can the sun shine like any other day?
C           G               Bb  F
How can the world turn this way?
C           G           Bb     F
How can the sun shine like any other day?
C           G               Bb  F
How can the world turn this way?
