Dog Days Are Over
Florence The Machine
                  D 
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
             G               D 
I dreamed I held you in my arms
               G                 D 
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
      A                   D 
So I hung my head and I cried

            D 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
             G                      D 
You make me happy when skies are grey
              G                       D 
You' ll never know, dear, how much I love you
              A                 D 
Please don' t take my sunshine away

             D 
I' ll always love you and make you happy
             G                   D 
And nothing else could come between
            G                  D 
But if you leave me to love another
             A                    D 
You' ll have shattered all of my dreams

            D 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
             G                     D 
You make me happy when skies are grey
              G                       D 
You' ll never know, dear, how much I love you
              A                 D 
Please don' t take my sunshine away
