     D

1.     Hey honey, what you‘re tryin‘ to say,

G

    as I stand here, don‘t you walk away,

A                 G                                D

    and the world comes tumblin‘ down.

D

    Hand in hand in a violent life,

G

    making love on the edge of a knife,

A                 G                                D

    and the world comes tumblin‘ down.

                  G                                         D      

    And it‘s hard for me to say, and it‘s hard for me to stay,

                      G

    I‘m going down to be myself,

                      D     

    I‘m going back for the good of my health.

                         A                                        G

    And there‘s one thing I couldn‘t do, sacrifice myself to you,

            D

    sacrifice.

      D                                       - G

2. Baby, baby, I just can‘t see,       just what you mean to me.

D                                                         - G

    I take my aim and I fake my words,       I‘m just your long time curse.

A                                                 G

    And if you walk away,  I can‘t take it.

                                                D                                                    G

    But that‘s the way that you are, and that‘s the things that you say,

                                             D                                      G 

    but now you‘ve gone too far with all the things you say,

A                                                                      G

    get back to where you come from, I can‘t help it.

 

                            D                               G

Under the April skies, under the April sky,

                          D                               G

under the April sun, under the April sky.

 

                      D                   G                    D                   G

+   Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh.

 

                            D                               G

Under the April skies, under the April sun,

                           D                            G                              D

under the April sky, under the April sun, under the April sky.

       D        

3. Sun grows cold, sky gets black,

                     G

    and you broke me up, and now you won‘t come back,

        D                                                 G

    shaking hand, life is dead, and a broken heart,

                                                   D

    and a screaming head, hey hey.

 

                            G                                D

Under the April skies, under the April sky,

                          G  - A - G                              D

under the April sun,            under the April sky.
