              Sunny came home to her favorite room
            Bm              A                D            A add4
              Sunny sat down in the kitchen
         E/G#                   A                G         F#m
              She opened a book and a box of tools
            Em                Bm                G        add2
              Sunny came home with a mission
                                             D           A         Em     A
                              She says days go by, I'm hypnotized
                                    D            A     Em
                              I'm walking on a wire
                                 D            A            Em      Bm     E7/G#   A
                              I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
                                            Gmaj7
                              Into the fire
                                                                  Bm A G F#m   Bm A D A

            Bm                 A                  D        A
              Sunny came home with a list of names
            Bm                  A                 D                F#m
              She didn't believe in transcendence
          G                         A                  Bm         A/C#
              It's time for a few small repairs she said
          Em                  Bm                G                add2
              Sunny came home with a vengeance

                              She says days go by, I don't know why
                              I'm walking on a wire
                              I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
                              Into the fire

                                                A           Bm         G          F#m
                                                Get the kids, and bring a sweater
                                                A        F#m         G          A
                                                Dry is good, and wind is better
                                                Count the years, you always knew it
                                                Strike a match, go on and do it

                              Days go by, I'm hypnotized
                              I'm walking on a wire
                              I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
                              Into the fire

                              Oh, light the sky, and hold on tight
                              The world is burning down
                                        D              A         Em         Bm       E7/G#    A
                              She's out there on her own, and she's alright
                                                  Gmaj7  E7/G#    Gmaj7  E7/G#
                              Sunny came home
                              Sunny came home...
                                                                      Bm A E/G# G (x3)

A Few Small Repairs





I think that the intro is played on a mandolin, but I still play it on the guitar. Remember, chords with a forward slash / are that chord plus a bass note. (e.g.- E/G# is an E chord with a G# bass (E-string, 4th fret).
