This is probably my favorite song by Maroon 5. It's so much fun to play on the piano,
so I decided to transcribe it to guitar. It sounds great, so learn it, play it, and
enjoy!
I've broken it down in 2 sections: the piano chords transcribed to guitar and the
electric guitar riffs.

Intro:
Dm9 G13 Cmaj9 (Fill) Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 (Fill)
Verse 1:
Dm9 G13 Cmaj9
Sunday morning, rain is falling,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
steal some covers, share some skin.
Dm9 G13 Cmaj9
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
you twist to fit the mold that I am in.
Dm7 G13 Cmaj9
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
and I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew,
Dm9 G13 Cmaj9
that someday it would lead me back to you,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
that someday it would lead me back to you.
Chorus:
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
That may be all... I... need,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
In darkness she is all... I... see.
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
Come and rest your bones... with... me.
Dm7
Driving slow on Sunday morning,
G7 Cmaj7
and I never want to leave.
Verse 2:
Dm9 G7#5 Cmaj7
Fingers trace your every outline, oh yeah, yeah,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
paint a picture with my hands.
Dm9 G13 Cmaj9
Back and forth, we sway like branches in a storm,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
change the weather, still together when it ends.
*Interlude*
Verse 3:
Dm9 G7#5 Cmaj7
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
Sunday morning, rain is falling, and I'm calling out to you.
Dm9 G13 Cmaj9
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
find a way to bring myself back home to you.
Outro:
Repeat Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 as many times as you want.

The verse guitar in this song pretty quiet so all you can hear are the high notes, and
it helps that it's accentuated by the wah effect.
The guitar starts at "Clouds are shrouding us..." and the riff starts at the same time
the Dm9 chord for the piano is played and it repeats until the chourus.
Play with slight distortion & wah effect

Yeah, that's it! I hope you guys enjoy Maroon 5 just as much as I do!
Like I said: learn it, play it, and enjoy!
P.S. In my opinion, it sounds great acoustically! So try that out if you get a chance!
