Dm              F           C     G              
  I can feel a storm brewing over nothing  
Dm               F       
  We were having fun  
           C         G 
There's no harm done there  
Dm            F  
  You need attention  
     C           G 
I can see you're sulking  
Dm            F            C        G   
  It's about time that you learn to share  

C         G 
  Lighten up  
          Dm        F 
It's gonna brighten up  
          C 
I want to play  
              G          Dm       F 
You're in the way of our sunshine  
C         G 
  Lighten up  
           Dm       F 
It's gonna brighten up  
           C 
Just let it go  
            G          Dm       F 
And I will throw you a lifeline  


Dm                  F 
  I don't know what happened  
         C     G 
To those resolutions  
Dm                      F 
  We think we found the truth at last  
   C       G 
When it escapes  
Dm           F           C       G 
  Inside the mirror is a false impression  
Dm                F 
    I can feel so swollen  
         C       G 
When I'm in good shape  

 

C         G 
  Lighten up  
          Dm        F 
It's gonna brighten up  
          C 
I want to play  
              G          Dm      F 
You're in the way of our sunshine  
C         G 
  Lighten up  
          Dm       F 
It's gonna brighten up  
            C 
Just let it go  
           G           Dm      F 
And I will throw you a lifeline
