Am
Don't play the tortured artist with me,
               C
Or you can pack up all your bags and then leave
         Am
Yea you know what I'm saying and
       C                          G
I'm praying for you to take heed
                 Am
It's like your mother was drunk all the time
            C
And your brother turned to a life of crime,
        Am
You fear he's lost direction,
        C                           G
You feel he's finally lost his way

[Chorus]
Am
Well look out on the bright side
C
Look out to the world
G                                F
Look out at all the boys and the girls
         Am
Well look out on the bright side,
C
Look out to the world
G                                F
Look out at all the boys and the girls, ye-eah

Am   C   Am   C

[Verse 2]
           Am                       C
Don't play the tortured artist with me,
            Am                          C
Cause it's not all about you now what about me
          Am
You can save your breath son cause
   C                              G
I never said that I was going to leave you,
                 Am             C
It's like your father, he never came home
            Am                   C
And your sister spent her life on the phone
        Am                     C
And all the other kids used to give you shit
        G
all the time

[Chorus]
Am
Well look out on the bright side
C
Look out to the world
G                                F
Look out at all the boys and the girls
         Am
Well look out on the bright side,
C
Look out to the world
G                                F
Look out at all the boys and the girls

[Verse 3]
Dm
Maybe I'll dive for treasure
G
Or maybe I'll ski the world
Dm                              G
Or maybe I'll just go live in the hills
Dm
Maybe I'll find my pleasure with
G
Some far eastern girl
      Dm                                    G
Or maybe I'll still be living in the hills
          C                     G           F
Ye.....a                        Ye ......ah

F       C       G                F
He...   ah       he ....        ah....
