[Intro]
Em G C C
Em G C C
Am G* F C

[Verse 1]
             Em  G      C
They say the sky won’t fall
Em             G       C
Today I kinda wish it would
          Em          G        C
Get those ol’ dark clouds overhead
                 Am
Cleared out and stop
      G*      F
the rain for good
            Em   G   C
Nah, there ain’t no sun
          Em     G        C
Just an endless shade of gray
            Em           G
But at the end of this road
           C
There’s a ray of hope
         Am      G*    F
That’ll wash my blues away

Bright side girl

She’s my bright side girl
  Am        G     F      C
A one of a kind, silver linin’
    Dm      F      Bb
To lightin’ up my world
F       G    C
Bright side girl
           Am       G
When it’s damp and dark
         F           C
In the walls of my heart
         Dm      F    Bb
She’s my bright side girl

And even when the fog rolls back in
