INTRO: D A D A E F#m A
We [A]try so hard to make it all work [D]out
[E]Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world, [A]sometimes very deep in doubt
And if the only thing that tomorrow brings is the [D]sunrise on the top of that hill
I'm gonna [E]sit right down and watch the world go 'round
And never [A]think about another damned bill
[A]Some men live for money and some for [D]art
[E]One guy thinks he's funny, the [A]other guy thinks he's smart
[A]Everybody's gonna get lucky every now and [D]then
And the [E]one who's feelin' so low down now is [A]later on gonna win
CHORUS:
Let the [A]picture paint itself and it'll be a[D]lright
[E]You don't have to try so hard, you don't [A]have to hold on so tight
Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get [D]better
And when the [E]day is thru and it's just me and you
Well we'll be [A]feelin' so good we'll be knockin' on wood
INTRO
[A]If you think you've got troubles just look [D]around
And [E]don't go out in public all turned u[A]pside down
If the only thing that you're livin' for is [D]pain
Yeah there's a [E]real good chance that you'll get nothin' more
Than a [A]lot more of the same
CHORUS
INTRO out
