Tom: C
G C
I was looking for a bright side, mama
G C
Ever since about the day I was born
G C
Always headed for a bright light
G C
Wondering what it might have in store
G C
Through the dark of the dead-end roads
G C
And the people who were not what they seemed
G C G C
Left myself alone again with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
And I was looking for a bright side, mama
G C
When you took me in and set me down slow
Am D
You calmed my nerves, eased my mind
G
And you hit me with the healing
F F F
You showed me what the real thing is
[Chorus]
C G
Bright lights are blinding
C G
And I need reminding
C Em
That my light shines brightest
F G C
When I see the bright side of you
G C
[Verse 2]
G C G
I was looking for a way out of the maze
C
And those crazy days
G C G
Hung around long enough to peek out of the shade
C
Without changing my ways
G C
I’m a champion, a prize-fight lover
G C
And I’m covered up with wounds from the war
G C
But I’m yours if you want me
G C
I’m yours
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
And I was looking for a bright side, mama
G C
When you took me in and set me down slow
Am D
You calmed my nerves, eased my mind
G
And you hit me with the healing
F F F
You showed me what the real thing is
[Chorus]
C G
Bright lights are blinding
C G
And I need reminding
C Em
That my light shines brightest
F G C
When I see the bright side of you
G C x3
[Guitar Solo]
Am D G C
Am D G F
[Outro]
C G
Your eyes get blinded
C G
Trying too hard to find it
C Em
And I get excited
F
When I see the bright side
F#
see the bright side of you
G C
G C
When I see the bright side of you (Repeat to end song)
