[Verse 1]
                    B              F#
Everybody wants a good life and a home.
                   C#m                       E
Everybody wants a good friend when they're alone.
           B
And, everybody don't want nobody to know
           F#                                             C#m
That everybody's got a soul with a great big hole in the middle of it.
                        E
Life's a riddle and we try to solve it.


[Chorus]
B
So, when it's dark, look on the bright side.
   F#
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine.
C#m
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
        E
'Cause everybody got a heart on the inside.
B
We could take all the hard lessons
F#
Add a little lovin' and turn ‘em into blessings.
C#m
Don't complicate it. Keep it simple.
E
Just work hard and be nice to people.
B           F#                               C#m

Work hard and be nice.


[Verse 2]
                 B            F#
I don't need a castle or a throne.
                         C#m                         E
I'm just tryin to do a little more right than I do wrong.
    B
And I don't want nobody to know
     F#                                         C#m
That I got a soul with a great big hole in the middle of it
                                E
And I'm just tryin' to fill a little of it.


[Chorus]
B
So, when it's dark, look on the bright side.

And when it rains, wait on the sunshine.
C#m
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes

Work hard and be nice.


[Bridge]
               C#m
So, keep your eyes to the skies and your feet on the ground.
      E
And, if you got a frown I'll help you turn it around and
C#m
Don't let nobody ever tell you you can't be
F#
Who you wanna be or who you wanna see
         E
In this love or this life, or this day.


[Chorus]
B
So, when it's dark, look on the bright side.
   F#
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine.
