verse 1 

              G 
Everything is wonderful 
              D 
Everything is great 
     Em                            C 
Free as a bird, singing outside my window pane

Got a fresh new start

It's a brand new day 
Em                             C 
And I got lots of love to give away 


G                       D 
It don't matter if it's raining 
            Em 
Nothing can phase me 
              C 
I make my own sunshine

Baby, you're crazy

Bridge 

G 
Hey, let's make a rainbow 
D 
Look for the pot of gold 
Em                           C        G 
I'll show you how to keep it nice and easy 
                                 D 
Even if the cloud starts forming on my lovely day 
Em                           C 
There's nothing, no nothing, that could stand in my way 


G                       D 
It don't matter if it's raining 
            Em 
Nothing can phase me 
              C 
I make my own sunshine 
G                        D 
And if you think you can break me 
             Em 
Baby, you're crazy 
              C 
I make my own sunshine 
      G           D              Em                  C 
OO OO OOh   OO OO OO OOh   OO OO OOh   I make my own sunshine 
      G           D              Em                  C
