G				  C
Darlin' when you told me you were leavin'

  G                                  D
I thought that you were only foolin' me

    G	  			 C
But here I am to face old blue tomorrow

       G		   D               G
with a broken heart that's filled with misery


CHORUS
   D                            G
It seems that my world is to an end

     C                                  D
Just dreamin' of things that might have been

   G                           C
Oh why don't that old sunshine bright
  
  G                 D         G
today's the darkest day of my life

G				C
Oh how I wish that old sayin' is true

     G                          D
It's always darkest just before dawn

Then I'd know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine

  G                    D               G
I just can't take this darkness on and on

Just dreamin' of things that might have been

Oh why don't that old sunshine bright
  
  G                 D         G      D G
today's the darkest day of my life
